ISO 22000:2018 7.4.3: Internal communication

The organization sets up, runs and maintains an effective way of communicating matters that affect food safety, and makes sure the food safety team hears promptly about changes to any of the following: existing or new products; ingredients, raw materials and services; equipment and production systems; the premises, where equipment is located and the surroundings; programmes for cleaning and sanitation; systems for packaging, storing and distributing; competencies, and how responsibilities and authorizations are allocated; the statutory and regulatory requirements that apply; what is known about hazards and control measures; requirements from customers, the sector and elsewhere; enquiries and communications received from outside parties; complaints and alerts that point to hazards in the end product; and anything else that affects food safety. The team makes sure this information is taken into account when the system is updated, and top management makes sure relevant information goes into management review.
