Which ongoing PCQI duty involves examining production data to ensure compliance with safety controls?

• A. Review of records
• B. Preparation of the Food Safety Plan
• C. Reanalysis of the Food Safety Plan
• D. Validation of the preventive controls

Answer: (A)

Examining production data to confirm safety controls are working is an ongoing oversight task. This duty, reviewing records, means the PCQI continually checks monitoring logs, batch records, deviations, and corrective actions to verify that each preventive control is being applied correctly and that results stay within established limits. This continuous data review helps spot trends or problems early and enables prompt corrective actions to keep the process in compliance with the Food Safety Plan. The other activities are more about initial setup or periodic reevaluation: preparing the Food Safety Plan is the development step, reanalysis is a periodic update of the plan to reflect changes, and validation ensures the controls are capable of controlling hazards, usually before or during implementation rather than as a routine data review.
