Hello

 

Can anyone help me, I have been asked to set up HACCP and risk assessments for a new product line which will be packing herbs, these will be sourced from the UK and abroad.

 

What Allergens would I need to be looking for and also what microbial testing would be done and to look for what and the safe levels?

 

What dangers could be in the herbs such as moulds?

 

Thank you

Thank you for your help, I am looking to find out what sort of results you would be looking for when doing microbial testing, safe levels and what pathogens would be a danger to herbs.  The site blends as well as supply single type of herb. what quality controls would be expected during packing and prior to dispatch.
