#$6$+ U!datin( t"e food &afet' ana(eent &'&te Top management ensures that the food safety management system is continually updated. n order to achieve this, the food safety team evaluates the food safety management system at planned intervals. The team then considers 'hether it is necessary to revie' the ha$ard analysis (see *.+), the established operational PRP(s) (see *.") and the HAP plan (see *.7.&). The evaluation and updating activities are based on a) input from communication, e3ternal as 'ell as internal as stated in ".7, b) input from other information concerning the suitability, ade0uacy and effectiveness of the food safety management system, c) output from the analysis of results of verification activities (see !.+.%) and d) output from management revie' (see ".!.%) 6ystem updating activities are recorded and reported in an appropriate manner, as input to the management revie' (see ".!.#).
