In training on the criteria for MeSTI certification, businesses will be trained and driven. These include the basic course on Mesti food production standards, a workshop, Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) course for the food processing business.
The auditors will perform audits of the production premises. Visuals from the production facilities will be used during the audit process to disclose suggestions for change. All assessments and audits will be performed on evidence. Specially trained auditors assigned by the Ministry of Health will be the person in charge of your company’s certification process. They will check whether the necessary MeSTI elements are provided, meet the desired limits or expectations, and implement all required elements in operation all the time to provide consistent quality. After the field audit, there will be a follow-up audit to give companies time to resolve nonconformances within 3 months.
After the certification of MeSTI, these institutions will also be controlled afterward through monitoring audits to protect their certification eventually. This Food Safety Program is a system and also a framework provided to small and medium companies operating in the food industry to ensure that any of the processed or manufactured products will not be harmful to their consumers.
