Hello, if you include allergens and end up as CCP it must be controled "constanlty", this is a problem because as far as I know allergens can be controled on spot with a specific kit (includes pen, like swab test) and it has high cost.

I would sujest to include allergens as PRP, with restrict procejures, different production lines (if possible), restrict cleaning programme and controls like microbiological analyses, which are on monthly bases. Ofcourse I don't know for what products we are talking so what I say it may be irelevant.

HI Heidi,

Congratulations on your new role.

What kind of products does your company supply? This would make it easier to determine the type of potential risks involved.

Do you have an Approved Supplier Program?

Allergen Management

  • Definitely part of the HACCP risk assessment
  • Develop an Allergen Management support program
  • Implement Allergen Control throughout your entire process: receival, storage, cleaning, etc
  • Conduct Allergen Control training
  • Controls should include regular GMP checks, induction training, regular & refresher training, signage, swab checks, correct labeling
  • Allergen CCPs are placed where you feel they are most needed. For one business, I have placed an Allergen CCP in storage & preparation which are controlled by a daily check register and production records
