ISO 22000

Verification planning defines the purpose, methods, frequencies and responsibilities for the verificaiton activities. The verification activities confirm that:
- prerequisite programmes are implemented
- input to the hazard analysis is continuously updated
- operational prequisite programmes and HACCP plans are implemented and effective
- hazard levels are within identified acceptable levels
- PROCEDURES required by the organization are implemented and effective

The output of planning is suitable to the food organization.

Verification results are recorded and communicated to the food safety team. Verification results must be provided to enable analysis of verification activity results.

When verification is based on testing of end product samples and these samples show nonconformity with the acceptable level of food safety hazard, the affected lots of product are handled as potentially unsafe.
