HACCP based Food Safety Plans are the accepted method in which we satisfy the requirement to control risks in the production of food.
The Rutherford Technical Services technical team has developed a Food Safety Plan Template (FSPT), which has been written in “plain English” and is in an easy to read format. The FSPT includes modifications to suit the operations within a food service kitchen whilst maintaining the requirements of HACCP. The FSPT, once completed, is able to be audited by an independent third party.
The Rutherford Technical Services FSPT includes the following components:
- Introduction
- HACCP Plan
- Document Control
- Best Practice
- Cleaning & Waste Management
- Pest Control
- Training
- Calibration & Maintenance
- Problem Solutions (Corrective Action)
- Approved Suppliers
- Product Traceability & Recall
Importantly the FSPT also contains all the relevant checklists and forms that are a requirement of monitoring food safety. You can use these as is, or they can be easily modified to suit your existing paperwork system.
The appendix contains useful information such as a summary of the main food handling operations and display documents such as the Key Temperature Limits, How to Calibrate a Thermometer and How to Sanitise.
The FSPT is presented in electronic format (CD) with a labelled folder to contain each of the completed sections. A Guidebook is provided to assist in the development of your Food Safety Plan.
In addition, a six (6) month RTS Helpdesk service contract is included as part of the FSPT to further assist in the development and implementation of your Food Safety Plan. Support is provided by our Food Technologists via phone and e-mail, or a site visit can be arranged if required.
The support programs (Cleaning & Maintenance, Pest Control, etc.) are often already in place and the FSPT allows you to easily include these within the structure of a formal Food Safety Plan, saving you time and money!
However, the HACCP part of a Food Safety Plan can be more difficult to undertake alone. Rutherford Technical Services offers the option of customisation of the HACCP Plan section of the FSPT. This reduces the time that you have to spend in the development of your Food Safety Plan, saving you time and money!
Rutherford Technical Services also offers a complete customised service for all parts of the Food Safety Plan in consultation with key food safety/kitchen staff.
Please contact our office to organise an obligation free demonstration of the FSPT or a quote for customisation of the FSPT.
