What is Validation?
Obtaining and evaluating scientific and technical evidence that a control measure, combination of control measures, or the food safety plan as a whole, when properly implemented, is capable of effectively controlling the identified hazards. – 21 CFR 117.3 § 117.160 Validation.
Why Validation Is Important?
Validation plays a critical role in food safety by ensuring that food production processes are scientifically proven to consistently deliver safe products. Despite many food products undergoing a kill step during production, the lack of proper validation can lead to severe risks for both public health and the food industry.
