Internal Auditing Basics for GFSI Food Safety Schemes
(Webinar length:  1h 27m)

Overview

An effective audit system is essential to a company's food safety and product quality. It
provides confirmation that systems and procedures are operating effectively and identifies
areas that require improvement. Auditing is a key component of any continuous improvement
program, especially in the areas of food safety and HACCP. It is the "check" component of
the now famous Edward Deming "Plan-Do-Check-Act" or PDCA continuous improvement
concept.

Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) certification has become a common market requirement
for the food industry as a tool for assuring food safety and regulatory compliance. It is now a
frequent customer requirement for many agricultural producers, produce packers, and food
and dairy processors. If your company is pursuing certification against one of the GFSI audit
schemes, such as BRC, SQF, FSSC, or PrimusGFS, an internal audit system must be in
place. Several of these GFSI schemes mandate that personnel receive formal training in
internal auditor concepts, and how to conduct audits of the company's food safety
management system. During this webinar, we will introduce key concepts of food safety
internal auditing and highlight critical learning topics for new auditors. Learning will be
reinforced with interactive audit exercises.

To benefit most fully from this webinar, it is suggested that interested participants have
completed previous training in, or have a working knowledge of, food safety prerequisite
programs and HACCP.
