On-Farm Food Safety Review

Q. Can the “To Do List” be used for an internal audit?

A. No. The To Do List is a tool for producers/storage intermediaries/packers to document items that are they unable complete immediately as they fill out the manual. It will save them time later to find what still needs to be completed as opposed to flipping back through the entire manual. As per Section 24 On-Farm Food Safety Manual Review, the internal audit can be completed by using the self-assessment checklist, the audit checklist or by using an outside party to perform a pre-audit.
