HACCP in the food industry – reporting plan – 4/5 – quarterly reports

HACCP in the food industry – reporting plan – 4/5 – quarterly reports

Knowledge base

AUTOR: Bartosz Chrapek

HACCP certification imposes a number of reporting requirements on food manufacturers. As specialists in digitising quality control processes, we decided to compile the scope of reporting and its frequency into a coherent overview. Each report is arranged according to a uniform scheme specifying its frequency, name, scope and type of production where it is applied. In this section we present the quarterly reports.

Quarterly reports

Quarterly reports relate to periodic summaries and reviews of the system, often involving senior management. Their purpose is to strategically assess the functioning of the HACCP system and introduce improvements.

Frequency Report name Description Type of food facility (application)
Kwartalnie Food safety management review report Periodic (e.g., quarterly) meeting of management and the HACCP team to assess the functioning of the HACCP/ISO 22000 system. The report includes a discussion of key indicators (audit results, complaints, incidents, test results), a review of the implementation of food safety objectives and the determination of improvement actions. All facilities (ISO 22000 requires a management review at least once a year; many companies introduce a quarterly cycle for better oversight).
Kwartalnie Quarterly comprehensive internal audit A broader internal audit covering a complete review of all areas of the HACCP system (developed HACCP plan, implementation of CCPs, GHP/GMP prerequisite programmes, documentation). It provides full verification of the system’s compliance before an external audit. All facilities (often used in larger enterprises – an internal audit of each part of the system at least once per quarter; in smaller plants this may be carried out once a year).
Kwartalnie Supplier raw material evaluation report Review and assessment of the supply performance of raw materials and materials from all suppliers for a given quarter. It includes analysis of delivery compliance (timeliness, quality, raw material test results, any complaints or incidents) and decisions regarding further cooperation or corrective actions at suppliers. Facilities using multiple suppliers (e.g., producers of complex products – convenience food plants, dairy plants, convenience food factories; recommended also in smaller plants to ensure control of the supply chain).
Quarterly Critical parameter trend analysis report Analysis of data collected from monitoring CCPs and hygiene programmes over the quarter: identification of trends (e.g., temperature fluctuations, swab results, deviations at CCPs). The report indicates whether the process is stable, and proposes preventive actions if it is approaching limit values. All facilities (especially where large amounts of data are collected – e.g., continuous monitoring in milk production, recording oven temperatures; trend analysis is good practice in every HACCP system).
Quarterly Product recall procedure test report (traceability) Document from a simulation of a product recall from the market. It contains the time and effectiveness of tracing the batch (from raw material to distribution), a list of located products, actions taken by the team and conclusions to improve the procedure. Such a test should be carried out at least once a year (often included in a quarterly or annual plan). All facilities (a requirement of HACCP/ISO systems – checking the effectiveness of traceability and crisis procedures in every food industry).

The above reports and records are an integral part of the HACCP and ISO 22000 system in food enterprises. Their diligent maintenance ensures continuous supervision of food safety and serves as evidence of compliance during certification audits. Regular keeping of documentation – from daily checklists to periodic audits and reviews – allows for the rapid detection and correction of irregularities, thus maintaining a high level of food safety and product quality in all types of food facilities.

Paper in Quality Control is a Thing of the Past: Time for a Digital Revolution!

In the era of Industry 4.0, where data and automation drive development, many companies still rely on outdated, paper-based quality management systems. This not only acts as a brake on efficiency but also provides a clear path to costly errors and a loss of competitiveness. The time has come for paper binders and endless stacks of documents to become a thing of the past, making way for modern, digital solutions. Statistics and analyses leave no doubt—digitalization is a necessity.
