Manual Development

Documentation of food safety procedures and practices is an essential feature of an effective food safety management plan. A thoroughly developed food safety manual shows commitment to risk reduction and is a compliance criterion for doing business with US retailers.

SCS offers seven food safety manual templates, available at no cost through the SCS Self Service Center. Each manual template is available as a Microsoft Word document and as a pdf file. You can easily customize the manual to meet your specific needs.

  • Harvesting Operation Practices
  • Land/Growing Practices
  • Cooling and Cold Storage Practices
  • Fresh-Cut Processing Practices
  • Packing Facility Practices
  • Quality Practices
  • Food Security Practices
