The situation

What has happened

The internal audit schedule requires the juice line at Dandenong South to be audited this month against the HACCP plan and its supporting programs. The line pasteurises and cold fills chilled juice, and its critical control points are pasteuriser holding temperature and time and cold chain temperature to dispatch. The audit must sample a month of monitoring records, divert valve tests, cleaning records, calibration certificates and training records, and include interviews with operators and the line leader. Kwame Asante has agreed to an opening meeting on 21 September. Sarah Okonjo wants graded findings that are factual and traceable to evidence, with corrective actions recorded in the register.

Your brief. Plan, conduct and report an internal audit of the juice line food safety program, using a checklist built from the HACCP plan and the procedures, sampling records and interviewing staff, and recording graded findings with corrective actions in the register.

What to look for

Evidence guide

The checklist must be built from the plan and procedures rather than a generic list, evidence must be sampled and referenced, interviews must use open questions and be recorded, findings must be graded with the requirement and the evidence stated, and the report must be factual and free of opinion. Corrective actions must have owners and due dates in the register.

The student's evidence summary lists every record they created or changed in the systems named above, their notes and the tasks they ticked. Verify it against the deliverables and your own assessment tool.
