Quick Guide for an Out-of-Specification Micro Result
Well-managed or not, any food company may occasionally experience a laboratory test result that is out-of-specification (OOS). An OOS data point occurs when the value does not meet a predetermined level (specification), suggesting that a process is out of control or you are inheriting a supplier problem.
This OOS Response Guide breaks down best practices for preparation before an OOS result is received, environmental monitoring program OOS actions, product OOS actions, and follow-up actions to prevent the reoccurrence of contamination.
This guide was created based on the information shared by Doug Marshall in the webinar, OMG I have an out-of-spec micro sample, what should I do? Click HERE to view the webinar on-demand.
