AIB Revises Consolidated Standards for Inspection

AIB International’s Food Safety Professionals are now providing GMP Inspections against revised Consolidated Standards for Inspection. Throughout 2016, AIB released updates for five of their Consolidated Standards for Inspection to incorporate important trends and needs for today’s global food chain, such as food fraud and supply chain control. The revised Standards that took effect January 1, 2017 include:

• Prerequisite and Food Safety Programs
• Beverage Facilities
• Food Distribution Centers
• Food Contact Packaging Manufacturing Facilities
• Nonfood Contact Packaging Manufacturing Facilities

The Consolidated Standards are key requirements that facilities must meet to ensure their products are wholesome and safe. They are used by AIB’s Food Safety Professionals as a guide for our GMP Inspections and Inspection Only.

AIB has webinars and guidance documents that explain the changes and updates for each of the revised Standards to help clients prepare for changes in their 2017 GMP Inspections. All information pertaining to all Consolidated Standards for Inspection is available online.
