The first verification activity is the allergen assessment in the facility. This is a practice that should be done by all facilities, regardless of whether they determine themselves to be low risk, medium risk or high risk.
Allergen controls are mandatory requirements for each GFSI scheme. All facilities must have assessed the risks allergens pose, identified controls for those risks and conducted training to all production staff on the basics of allergens and the risks they cause to those who are allergic.
