Section 5 &#8211; Product Control Product design and development (5.1) has been slightly revised to ensure that the development process does not unwittingly introduce new hazards to the production facility.

		<description><![CDATA[This time around we look at some of the major changes to the Site Standards Section. This change was driven by the need to ensure that certification bodies spend more time in the factory and more time assessing housekeeping controls. Many in the industry support this as a sensible measure of the true food safety status of food factories: Section 4 &#8211; [...]]]></description>
