Allergen Changeover Checklist
This allergen changeover checklist helps food and beverage manufacturers verify line clearance and prevent cross-contact when switching from allergen to non-allergen products. It covers identifying the production line, declaring allergens for the outgoing and incoming products, confirming correct cross-contact labeling, and performing pre-start inspections. Steps include visual cleanliness checks, removal of allergen ingredients, rework, WIP, and finished goods from the area, and a plant inspection for any non-compliance. Use it to document findings, record queries, and capture sign-off for compliance and audit readiness.
