Cleaning processes that are critical to product safety need to be validated in order to have confidence in their performance. Validation ensures that the selected cleaning methods, equipment, temperatures and instructions are at a level that achieves the desired level of cleanliness at each cleaning cycle and under all load conditions. Validation may concern either microbiological cleanliness or the removal of allergen residues. Validation requires good planning, correct target setting, expertise and reliable analysis. Production facilities do not always have the resources to do this, but fortunately validation can also be outsourced. Only Net-Foodlab Ltd can provide such a complete service.
The requirement for validation of cleanings is a practical requirement in the BRCGS Food and FSSC 22000 standards for CIP washes and allergen cleanings. These are critical processes for food safety and must therefore work at all times and under all load conditions. Net-Foodlab Ltd’s quality team has mastered both the requirements of the BRCGS Food standard and the implementation of an effective validation project.
