2019 RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESSES  CRITICAL CHANGES TO THE FMS 2019  Minimum pack houses delivery sample increase to 800 fruit sampling (instead of 600)  Pack house delivery inspections for Option C  Repeat pack house delivery inspection if packing beyond 4 weeks  Suspension of orchards pending the DAFF investigation on FCM  DAFF AUDITS ON CITRUS GROWERS, PACK HOUSES AND COLD STORES:  Compliance with the requirements of the FMS (trainings, equipment, records, etc)  Procedural applications for compliance  SUSPENSION OF ROLE PLAYERS FOR:  Refusing audits  Inconsistent/ unreliable information / untrustworthiness  FMS document (hard copy/ electronic)  RECORDS!!! 26
