AIB International Updates Consolidated Standards for Inspections
The globally recognized AIB International Consolidated Standards for Inspections have been updated to incorporate the latest industry best practices, new regulations, and food safety requirements. The updated consolidated standards will be released on July 25, 2022, and inspections against the updated version will begin January 1, 2023.
Major updates include moving written programs to the Adequacy section, dividing the Food Safety Programs standard into two separate standards for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) and Hazard Analysis and Risk-Based Preventive Controls (HARPC), expanding the Food Defense standard to provide more guidance for a program that can be applied globally, and creating a separate Regulated Food Defense standard to meet the U.S. Intentional Adulteration requirements.
