SANITATION
PEST CONTROL
insects such as flies and occasional
invaders. The information gathered
from these can lead to corrective
actions to reduce these pests and
provide key insights that help
strengthen your pest management
program. Mon i tor i ng dev ice s
can help you stay ahead of potential
pest problems by proac t ive ly
identifying sanitation or structural
vulnerabilities and allowing you to
remedy issues quickly.
Documentation
With employees spotting pests
and monitoring devices working
24/7, that data needs to be captured.
When pests are found, note how many
and what type, and work your pest
management partner to help you
determine corrective actions. They
will help you interpret the data, look
at trends and determine appropriate
responses. There's no traceability
without monitoring, documentation
and communication, so all of this
information - from pest activity to
conducive conditions to corrective
actions - must be recorded.
It's required to keep some key
documents on hand for reference and
for auditing purposes:
* The food safety plan for your
facility. Remember that pest
management is part of this.
* The annual IPM assessment. This
should include the risk assessment,
trend reports, details on corrective
actions and any proactive measures
done to protect produce from pests.
* A supply-chain program overview.
Thi s
inc ludes
ingredients.
* Receiving records for incoming
shipments. It's vital to show that
you're inspecting shipments and
documenting concerns.
* Monitoring records. This include a
current site map of devices and pest
sightings around the facility.
These documents are a crucial part
of ensuring pest issues are traceable.
With them on file and up-to-date, you'll
be able to quickly escalate concerns
and remedy issues as early as possible.
That will go a long way if an auditor
comes by, and it will help keep your
team accountable when there are clear,
actionable items to resolve.
Pests aren't going to wait for
the perfect time to infest produce.
They're going to per s i s tent ly
pursue the attractants they detect,
whether that's inside your storage
or processing facility or on the next
shipment out to your supply chain
partner. So, talk to your partners about
implementing these same standards
for pest management, and remember,
traceability is an integral part of a
strong IPM program and a top-notch
food safety plan.
