Is inverting of the bottles or other packages that have been hot-filled with a product according to the appropriate Process Schedule, considered a CCP in its own right?
If so, what are the critical limits? I know about the length of time that it should be inverted, but what about he time between filling and inversion? If product is filled, then immediately capped, how long is too long before being inverted?
For context: this is a small process, maybe 100 bottles in one batch; filling is done by machine, but capping and inversion is manual. We have obtained a letter from a Process Authority, and I have already reached out to them about this, but wanted to cast a wide net as a backup.
