hello,
I have problems to determine
critical control points in a
mill according to HACCP.
I have found 4
CCP: receiving wheat, wetting,
Security screening and bagging ...
Can you help me know if
I'm on the right track or not?
thank you,

Receiving wheat would be a CCP. The wheat needs to come to the mill with the correct moisture content for storage and also one needs to have magnets to capture the physical contaminants (ferrous materials).

Milling with different sets of rollers would be your Quality Critical Point (QCP)


Sieving and screening would also be a CCP as one would try and prevent any foreign particles of a particular size from passing through to the next stage in the process.


Having magents or metal detectors at certain points in the process would also be a CCP.


The final bagged product would be your QCP/CCP with the correct moisture and microbiological criteria for yeast and moulds, SPC, Bacillus cereus.



I hope this has helped your cause.

thank you, but I find it difficult to determine especially critical limits at reception of wheat, knowing
no checks are performed the exception of grading??
How can I determine the limits reviews and monitoring mode to the dangers of receipt (heavy metals, pesticide residues, ...)

There is also another nice, generic FAO (from memory) document here which i posted a few years back but so far cannot find it. I will add it if discovered. (= 1st one below)

Dear fatiaa,

This is just to add a litle more data to my previous post.

I don't know the primary objective of yr production however i noticed this nice link in another thread (oldish but currently active) which particularly focusses on haccp handling of aflatoxin considerations through primary/secondary processing with quite detailed examples for maize and also a few other products (eg peanut, apples) -

The source thread which contains some further links mainly intended for haccp plan aspects of animal feed production is -

Hello,

I'm establishing a HACCP plan on e flour wheat mill. I'm thinking of four CCPs in that plant: 1. receiving raw material (wheat). microbiological and chemical control. 2. Incoming water used for conditioning (to wet the grain), microbiological, chemical and physical. 3. Adding of additives (because flour mills use different additives to improve flour quality). and the last one, the fourth one CCP may be the last sieve after the bin flour and before packing of final product. because this plant has a sieve before packing. Regarding magnets, other sieves, disinfection with phostoksine i have considered as CP (Control Points).

We have an established HACCP plan in our mill and we only have 2 CCPs: the Sieves and the Metal Detector. The rest is just CP.

GADEZ,

I seen that you have established 2 CCps with sieves and the Metal Detector. What type of supporting documetnation do you have for the sieves to comply with supporting documentation/validate that specfic CCP on sifting?. We were asked to get scientific information/supporting documnetation to validate that specific CCP and so far are unsuccessful.
