What kinds of records are subject to IPP review for Review Establishment Data?

• A. Records of data relevant to food safety
• B. Records of data relevant to food quality and consumer expectations
• C. Records of data related to establishment employment practices
• D. Records of HACCP monitoring data only

Answer: (A)

Records that address food safety are the ones subject to IPP review for Review Establishment Data. The aim of this review is to verify that the establishment is capturing and retaining documentation that shows hazards are identified, controlled, and verified to protect public health. This includes records tied to HACCP or preventive controls, such as hazard analysis, monitoring and verification data, corrective actions, sanitation programs, calibration and maintenance of equipment, and related validation or verification activities. It isn’t limited to HACCP monitoring alone, and it isn’t about records on food quality or consumer expectations or on employment practices. Those are outside the main focus of this IPP review, which centers on data that demonstrate safe operation.
