Corrective actions required records include which of the following?

• A. actions taken to identify and correct the problem
• B. safety evaluation for all affected food
• C. records demonstrate that food injurious to health did not enter commerce
• D. actions taken, when necessary, to reduce the likelihood that the problem will recur

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that corrective action records capture what was done to identify the deviation and fix the problem. When a deviation occurs, you document how you investigated what went wrong and the specific steps you took to correct it, with the goal of removing the cause and restoring control. This focused documentation showing the identification and correction of the problem is what the corrective actions records are intended to reflect. Other options describe related safety activities or preventive ideas, but they aren’t the core content of corrective action records. A safety evaluation for all affected food isn’t typically a single corrective-action record item, and proving that no injurious product entered commerce is more about traceability/recall considerations rather than the corrective action record itself. While reducing the likelihood of recurrence is important, that preventive aspect is usually addressed in preventive controls or CAPA records, not in the primary corrective action documentation.
