Meeting the requirements related to allergen containing materials.

We are using wheat flour, egg and dairy products in some of our products. As a rule each time a batch is completed, the line is cleaned and sanitized properly before starting next batch.

We have:

1- specified allergen containing material in our hazard analysis working for raw material and processing with "cleaning and sanitation" as control measure (PRP).

2- highlighted allergen containing material on product specification sheet.

3- indicated allergen containing material on primary packaging in the list of ingredients.

Should we take additional measures other than above as per the requirements of BRC food standard?

Hello Zeeshan,


You have to take measures to prevent cross contamination.You can implement:
- separate tools for allergen containing materials;
- specific production order from allergen free to allergen containing products;
- allergen training of workers;

Also make sure that you have validated your cleaning and sanitizing process.

Success!

Dear Madam A. D-tor

Thank you for you reply.

We'll consider to incorporate these additional measures as appropriate.
