4 1 Background Coeliac disease (pronounced see-liac) is a serious illness where the body s immune system reacts to gluten found in some foods and attacks the gut. This is known as an autoimmune disease. Dermatitis herpetiformis is the skin manifestation of coeliac disease. There is no cure; this is a lifelong condition for which the only treatment is a strict gluten free diet for life. Coeliac disease is not an allergy or intolerance. People with coeliac disease aren t faddy eaters the gluten free diet is their treatment. If someone with coeliac disease repeatedly eats gluten or their condition goes untreated, they will be damaging their gut and putting themselves at risk of osteoporosis and a rare form of small bowel cancer. 1 in 100 people have coeliac disease. Although many are still not diagnosed it is improving rapidly, which means the gluten free market is increasing as people try to maintain their lifestyle as they adapt to the diet. 1.1 The law on gluten free When producing gluten free dishes you need to have an understanding of the law to make sure you are compliant. Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 828/2014 covers the labelling of gluten free food. Legislation around the use of the term gluten free has been in force since 1 January 2012 and applies to foods served in catering establishments as well as pre-packaged food. Gluten free is a term protected by the law and applies only to food which has 20 parts per million (ppm) or less of gluten. The law does not specify how to achieve the standard set out for gluten free. But by working with Coeliac UK, and the advice provided by Trading Standards and the Food Standards Agency we can help you ensure that your dishes meet the requirements of the law on gluten free. 4
5 1.2 Why have a gluten free audit? Getting your dishes to gluten free status will mean you are using a recognised and reassuring phrase which your consumers already know. It is worth going the extra step to get to this level if you can. This standard is designed to be used by food businesses preparing non pre-packed foods. It will give an independent expert review of your system with consultative input for recommendations of improvement and acting as additional due diligence evidence to support technical functions on site. The gluten free audit is mandatory for all caterers applying for GF accreditation. 1.3 I have more than one venue, how many audits do I have to have? The number of audits required for companies with 12 sites or more, where processes, menus and training are consistent across sites, is calculated on a square root basis. The square root of the number of venues you have rounded to the nearest whole number is the number of audits you will be required to have. You can choose to have more audits if you would prefer to audit a greater number of your venues. The number of audits to be carried out is subject to guidelines available at: Example audit numbers are shown in the table below: Number of sites Number of audits
6 1.4 How much does the gluten free audit cost? Each gluten free audit costs 180 +VAT as a standalone audit. For those caterers who also have their food safety audits with NSF a bolt on audit can be arranged at a reduced cost. For more information on the reduction in fee, please contact: Chris Harrison via Chris.Harrison@coeliac.org.uk. 2. The audit process 2.1 Preparation for the audit Your company should ensure that they have read and are familiar with the requirements of the Coeliac UK Gluten free Audit Standard in advance of the audit and are prepared for it. Guidance on the interpretation of the Standard can be provided by Coeliac UK and NSF. 2.2 Audit Booking All enquiries and requests for audits should be directed to Chris Harrison at the Coeliac UK Head Office. Telephone , Chris.Harrison@coeliac.org.uk. 2.3 Audit Process Audits will usually take 2 hours (1hour for a bolt on audit) and consist of the following elements: an opening meeting to establish anticipated outcome for the day discussion and review of the gluten free section in Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) plan and specification(s) applicable to product(s) supplied to the customer with any third party requirements the Coeliac UK Gluten free Audit a closing meeting including problem solving initiatives and corrective actions that need to be addressed in order to close the audit. All sections of the Standard will be assessed and detailed notes are made of the business s ability to comply with the Standard. These will be used as the basis for the audit report. 6
7 Should a clause of the Standard not be met, the auditor will consider the nature and significance of this; it will be discussed with the auditee at the time and non-conformances will be reviewed at the closing meeting. 2.4 Non-conformances There are three levels of non-conformance which can be raised during the gluten free audit. Critical There are elements of the Standard that are linked with absolute requirement in order to produce safe or legal food. Failure to comply with any of these requirements would represent a Critical non-conformance, meaning there is a severe likelihood of serving gluten-containing food labelled as gluten free. Examples would include: serving a gluten-containing dish labelled gluten free a severe risk of cross contamination e.g. gluten-containing ingredients contaminating gluten free ingredients in storage. A site gaining a Critical non-conformance would be considered to have failed the audit and will require a full re-audit within 14 days. If there is a substantial failure to meet the requirements of a clause / sections of the Standard a non-conformance may be raised, there is a likelihood of serving glutencontaining food labelled as gluten free. Examples would include: HACCP system not established Risk controls not specified in production Failure to fully meet the requirements within a clause or section of the Standard. Contamination with gluten is unlikely however the business cannot demonstrate fully adhering to the requirements of the GF Standard. 7
8 Examples would include: Incorrectly completed / missing training records Business operator not having knowledge of the relevant legislation. 2.5 Corrective Action Process The final grade will only be confirmed following successful completion of corrective actions to close out non-conformances that must be submitted to Coeliac UK within 14 days of the audit. Corrective actions will be submitted online using the NSF online system. 2.6 Grading Process The Standard utilises a grading system which is determined by the number and severity of non-conformances which are highlighted during the audit. Critical non-conformances are an automatic fail, major non-conformances score 3 points and minor non-conformances score 1 point. Grade Points A 0-3 B 4-6 C or more points or 1 Fail critical 2.7 What happens if my business fails the audit? In the event of a fail from either 10 or more points or one critical, a re-audit will be required within 14 days. You will be required to pay for the initial audit as well as the re-audit. For any failed bolt-on audits, a full re-audit will be required. Re-audits are charged at the same price as initial audits VAT. 2.8 Audit Report The audit report will be produced following the audit and this will comprise the following: 8
9 details of the audit, audit date, site address, management representatives, gluten free dishes produced, overview of the company as well as the final result achieved an executive summary outlining what is going well as well as areas for improvement details of how the site complies with the Standard is given in tabular form a list of all non-conformances identified against the Standard is given. 3 Confidentiality Information relating to the customer s business including details of original recipes and processes, audit reports and associated documentation will be treated by Coeliac UK and NSF as confidential (unless disclosure is required by law). No information is released to third parties without the prior consent of the customer. 4 Complaints and Appeals Coeliac UK s audit partner NSF operates a documented complaints and appeals procedure as part of its Quality System. Full details are available on request. Complaints and appeals must be made in writing by named person(s) within 30 days and addressed to: Chris Harrison Coeliac UK 3 rd Floor Apollo Centre Desborough Road High Wycombe Bucks HP11 2QW 9
