Question 1 of 30
GlobalHarvest Foods, a multinational food manufacturing company, is struggling to consistently meet the requirements of ISO 22000:2018. Internal audits have revealed recurring issues with supplier management, specifically regarding verification of supplier FSMS, and inadequate hazard control measures at critical control points (CCPs). Despite having a documented FSMS, inconsistencies in implementation across different production lines and facilities persist. Senior management is committed to improving the FSMS and has tasked the internal audit team with recommending actions to enhance its effectiveness. Several non-conformities have been identified during recent audits, including a lack of documented evidence of supplier audits, insufficient hazard analysis for new product lines, and inconsistent monitoring of CCPs. The audit team needs to propose a strategy that addresses these systemic issues and ensures ongoing compliance with ISO 22000:2018. Considering the context of GlobalHarvest Foods\' challenges and the requirements of ISO 22000:2018, which of the following actions would be MOST effective for the internal audit team to recommend to improve the FSMS\'s effectiveness and compliance?
Implement a risk-based audit approach focusing on supplier management and hazard control, including thorough risk assessments of suppliers and validation of hazard analysis and CCP determination processes.
Increase the frequency of internal audits across all production lines and facilities, regardless of risk level, to identify and address non-conformities more quickly.
Conduct mandatory refresher training for all employees involved in food safety, regardless of their current competence level, to reinforce their understanding of ISO 22000:2018 requirements.
Revise the documented FSMS to include more detailed procedures and work instructions, without necessarily addressing the underlying issues of implementation and supplier verification.
