Records retention
FSSAI marks this item with an asterisk on its inspection checklist — failing this one item alone results in non-compliance for the whole inspection.
Records need to be retained for at least a year, or the shelf-life of the product if longer -- the FoSCoS checklist flags this as one of the items that can fail a whole inspection on its own.
“All records with regard to processing, maintenance, cleaning, insect/rodent control shall be retained for a period of one year or the shelf-life of the product, whichever is more.”
Keep cleaning, pest-control and related records for at least one year.
Track this requirement, keep the proof in one place, and get reminded when it needs attention.
SabSet maps requirements for clarity. Always confirm against the official source; professional advice may be appropriate.
