Review with AI on my HACCP plan is not doing what I expect

Why Review with AI may suggest nothing, why you might not be able to apply a change, and how to avoid ending up with a duplicate plan.

The symptom

You used Review with AI on a HACCP plan and it did not behave as you expected: it suggested nothing, you could not apply a change, or you ended up with two plans.

It suggested no changes

That is usually correct, not a fault. If the plan already reflects your current menu, allergens, and chemicals, the review returns no suggestions and says the plan still matches your operations. If you expected a specific change, check that the underlying data is actually in Paddl first: the new item is on the menu and allergen matrix, or the new chemical is in your COSHH register. The review can only act on data the system holds.

Nothing happened when I clicked Review with AI

  1. Give it a moment. The review runs in the background and usually takes under a minute; the button shows progress while it works

  2. If it shows an error, it will say so. Try again, and if it keeps failing contact support

  3. Make sure you are on the Verification & Reviews tab of the plan, where the button lives

I cannot apply a suggestion

  • Applying changes to a HACCP plan is limited to owners and managers. Staff accounts can see the review but not apply it

  • Advisory suggestions have no Apply button by design. They are for you to action by hand, because they need judgement rather than a single field change

I ended up with a duplicate plan

Review with AI updates the plan you opened, so it never creates a duplicate. Duplicates come from the generate flow instead. When you start the builder and a plan already exists, choose update the existing plan rather than create a new one. If you already have an unwanted draft, open it under Food Safety > HACCP Plans and delete it. See How do I review or update my HACCP plan?.

When to contact support

If Review with AI keeps failing after a retry, contact us through the chat widget at help.paddl-ai.co or email support@paddl-ai.co, and tell us the plan name.

Staff are not getting push notifications
