IFS Wholesale / Cash & Carry Version 2 5.6: Product analyses

What does 5.6 require?

Risk assessment decides whether microbiological, physical and chemical testing of own brand or own produced products is needed to verify legal or specified requirements. A risk-based test plan covering internal and external testing exists, spanning raw materials, semi-finished and finished goods, equipment and packaging and, where needed, the environment, with results recorded; customer-requested analyses are written into the plan and done to defined requirements with results held on site. Safety-relevant analyses are preferably done by ISO 17025 accredited laboratories, otherwise internal or non-accredited results are regularly verified by accredited ones; internal testing uses recognised methods with reliability shown by ring or proficiency tests, qualified staff and suitable equipment and premises; results are evaluated promptly with corrective measures for poor results; and the test plan is updated, or other measures taken, in response to information on product risks including adulteration and fraud.
