Audit a cook chill process
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to support a food safety audit of food safety programs that include extended life cook chill processes and products, which are minimally heat-processed foods distributed as chilled products with defined shelf-life.
This unit applies to individuals who are responsible for auditing extended and short shelf-life cook chill processes. Audit processes would typically occur within the context of auditing a food safety program that defines related prerequisite program requirements.
This unit supports relevant legislation, including food standards included in the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code, industry codes of practice relating to validation and verification of a food safety program, and the audit requirements detailed in the National Regulatory Food Safety Auditor Guideline and Policy, and should be read in conjunction with these documents.
Both regulatory and commercial audit system owners may specify additional certification requirements of auditors eligible to audit food safety programs within their system.
