Kiwa ASI's cGMP Audit Program 2.0 is a set of HACCP-based standards founded on FDA's 21 CFR Part 117: Food Processing, Food Packaging and cGDP Storage & Distribution. Every 2.0 standard has the same structure.
The management system behind food safety, including management commitment and food safety culture (1.1), business licenses and registrations (1.5) and certification integrity (1.6).
Fifteen sections of good manufacturing (or, for cGDP, distribution) practice. In Food Processing they run from processing controls, allergens and environmental monitoring to internal audits and supplier approval.
A HACCP plan with a HACCP-trained team leader and backup (3.1), plus an FSMA Food Safety Plan where preventive controls apply (3.13).
A mock recall completed in under two hours: raw material back to the supplier and finished product forward to customers.
Minor, major and critical nonconformities deduct 1%, 5% and 100%. A score of 70% or higher earns a certificate, rated Complies, Good or Excellent.
Kiwa ASI's cGMP standards are its own audit programs. They aren't GFSI-benchmarked or accredited. Training doesn't certify your facility; certification takes a Kiwa ASI audit. See cGMP certification.
