- An existing supplier making it at a different site
- Any reformulation, however small, including a carrier, free-flow or anti-caking agent
- A new ingredient, processing aid, culture, enzyme or flavour
- Bulk liquid arriving from a new haulier, or a tanker whose previous cargo is unknown
On the line
- A line running a product it has not run before, certified or not
- A change to a cook, bake or heat step — temperature, timing, or who operates it
- Production scheduled outside the normal pattern, including a new shift or a weekend run
- Rework or reprocessing of product back into a batch
- New, rebuilt or borrowed equipment, including a replacement part on a food-contact surface
Engineering and cleaning
- A change to the cleaning cycle, the chemicals used, or how a line is cleaned between products
- Work on steam, water or compressed air that reaches product
- A temperature excursion on a heat step, even a brief one that corrected itself
When something has gone wrong
