External Food Safety Audits
An external food safety audit is done by an organization that is not

audits: second party and third party. During an external audit,
auditors gather objective evidence to demonstrate that your food
safety system: meets the program or customer requirements, is
properly implemented and works effectively to control food safety
hazards.

Mustard as a Food Allergen
Health Canada scientists conducted a systematic literature review on
the allergenicity of mustard to determine the scientific validity of
including mustard on the list of priority food allergens in Canada.
It is recommended that mustard be added to the Canadian list of food
allergens and that the Food Allergen Labelling Regulations, which
require enhanced labelling for priority allergens in pre-packaged
foods be updated accordingly in order to ensure that mustard
allergic consumers in Canada are protected.

Food Safety Tip
Cold weather means that rodents and other pests will be
looking for a warm refuge. Now is the time to check your pest
control measures: ensure that all gaps, cracks and crevices are
sealed to prevent entry; pay attention to good housekeeping and
sanitation practices so that pests cannot get in or around your premises.
