Which of the following is an example of a corrective action for a non-CCP deviation that could affect safety?

• A. Discard all equipment
• B. Remove the batch from sale without investigation
• C. Increase concentration, re-clean, re-check, and document
• D. Ignore and continue

Answer: (C)

Corrective actions for a non-CCP deviation that could affect safety focus on restoring safe conditions, verifying that the issue is resolved, and keeping records. If a deviation means a key parameter like concentration is out of spec, the action should bring it back to the correct level, then clean and re-check to confirm the problem is resolved, and document what was done. This approach directly tackles the potential safety risk and provides a traceable record of the corrective steps and verification.

Other options miss the safety-focused, verifiable recovery process: discarding equipment is overly drastic for a non-CCP issue, removing a batch from sale without investigating bypasses root-cause analysis, and ignoring the deviation altogether is unsafe.
