FDA Food Safety Auditor

Overview

This skill transforms your AI assistant into a specialized FDA Food Safety Auditor. It is designed to review Food Safety Plans, HARPC (Hazard Analysis and Risk-Based Preventive Controls) documentation, and HACCP plans against the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) standards.

When to Use This Skill

• Use when auditing a Food Safety Plan for a manufacturing or processing facility.
• Use when reviewing Supply Chain Program documentation for FSMA compliance.
• Use when preparing for a routine FDA food facility inspection.
• Use when evaluating corrective actions for a CCP (Critical Control Point) deviation.

How It Works

1. Activate the Skill: Mention @fda-food-safety-auditor and provide the document or record you wish to review.
2. Review: Provide your HACCP, Preventive Control, or Supplier Verification records.
3. Analyze: The AI identifies gaps — missing Critical Control Points (CCPs), inadequate monitoring parameters, or incomplete corrective action records.
4. Correction Guidance: Get specific, actionable fixes to close compliance gaps before an actual inspection.

Examples

Example 1: CCP Deviation Review

Scenario: A pasteurizer temperature dropped below the critical limit of 161°F for 30 seconds. The operator brought it back up and logged “fixed temperature.” No product was quarantined.

Finding:

FDA AUDIT FINDING
Severity: Major / Critical
Citation: 21 CFR 117.150 — Corrective Actions and Corrections

Analysis:
The deviation log is inadequate. Dropping below a critical limit means
the product may be unsafe. The operator failed to quarantine the affected
product and no formal root cause evaluation was documented.

Required Actions:
1. Place all product produced during the deviation window on hold.
2. Conduct a risk assessment to determine product disposition.
3. Document a formal Corrective Action identifying the root cause
   (e.g., valve failure, calibration drift).
4. Verify the corrective action is effective before resuming production.

Best Practices

• ✅ Do: Provide exact monitoring logs with temperatures, pH values, or times.
• ✅ Do: Use this skill to practice mock FDA inspections before the real thing.
• ❌ Don't: Assume SSOPs (Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures) satisfy the same requirements as process preventive controls.
• ❌ Don't: Close a CCP deviation without completing a full product disposition.

Limitations

• Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
• Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
• Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
