Internal Audit Checklist for Traceability

by Olabisi Lawson, from the Community

10+

Use this internal audit checklist to assess and document traceability across your manufacturing process. Verify identification and batch coding for raw materials, primary packaging, processing aids, work in progress, rework, and finished products. Capture supplier approvals and transfer certificates, test forward and backward traceability with mass balance exercises, and run periodic mock recalls. Cover identity preserved and provenance claims such as Organic or Lactose Free, ensure records are retained, and confirm traceability can be completed within required timeframes.

SOP 3.3.1 Traceability in Food Production
Ensure end-to-end traceability of raw materials and primary packaging across production. This SOP guides batch coding, labeling checks, temperature control, contamination checks, and documentation from intake to dispatch. Apply it to strengthen compliance with food safety standards, support recalls, and improve visibility across processing, packing, storage, and distribution.

SOP 3.3.1 Traceability - Production
This SOP template supports end to end product traceability in production. It guides teams to track raw materials and primary packaging from supplier receipt through processing, packaging, storage, and distribution. Use it to record batch and lot codes, date coding, quantities, weights, and packaging checks, including sealing and labeling accuracy. It includes quality checks such as organoleptic assessments and verification that products are free from physical, chemical, and microbiological contaminants. Temperature controls for chillers, freezers, and blast chilling are captured to maintain cold chain integrity. The checklist helps build a complete audit trail for recalls, customer requirements, and regulatory compliance.
