Help Please with HACCP Plan for Safe Catering
Started by happyclaired, Nov 27 2011 02:16 PM
Hello,
Our small company makes and delivers sandwiches and business lunch buffets. Examples I have found on the internet for haccp range from the very basic (just filling out SFBB folder), to more involved for manufacturing on a large scale. If you could please cast an eye over this draft to see if it is appropriate to a small catering business (approx 100 covers a week). Also, will I need to complete for EVERY items, or can I use a generic eg. sandwich one? Many thanks (I'm a bit bewildered!):

Any food deemed to be a risk of bacterialcontamination to be disposed of immediately.
3. PREPARATION OF SANDWICH
HAZARDS
BIOLOGICAL/CHEMICAL/PHYSICAL
As detailed in no.2.
Additional hazard, work surface for lyingout of bread could contain bacteria or foreign bodies and debris which couldcontaminate sandwich.
Sandwiches left uncovered after productioncould result in biological and/or physical contamination.
CONTROLMEASURES
As detailed in no.2.
Additional control: Work surfaces are clean, and sanitized priorto sandwich production.
Prepared foodstuffs outlined in no.2 –removed from fridge for the minimum amount of time needed for production of sandwich.
After sandwich is made, cling-filmedimmediately and labeled and returned to the fridge.
CRITICALCONTROL POINT
Food is notleft unrefrigerated, when not be used in production.
MONITORINGPROCEDURES
As above, also:
Visually check sandwiches at all stages,especially before they are wrapped.
Staff are following policy on hand washing,uniform standards etc.
CORRECTIVEACTION
As above, also:
If a sandwich becomes physicallycontaminated, discard immediately.
Staff retraining when necessary.
4. SERVICE AND DELIVERY TOEND CONSUMER
HAZARDS:
BIOLOGICAL
Yes. Growth of bacteria due to inadequate refrigeration during storage andtransportation.
CHEMICAL
No.
PHYSICAL
No. As long as packaging is intact.
CONTROLMEASURES
As above, also:
Fridge delivery van is correct temperature(below 8°c) and is clean.
Delivery driver is clean and presentable.
CRITICALCONTROL POINT/LIMIT
As above, also:
Including van temperature.
MONITORING PROCEDURES
Recording of van temperature on delivery.
Visual inspection of van and drivermonitored.
CORRECTIVEACTION
Any sandwich that is found to have been inthe temperature danger zone of above 8°c, for longerthat 4 hours to be discarded.
Staff retraining.
Full service of fridge and fridge van.

Can such Visual HACCP Flowcharts be acceptable?

Why do you have a food safety culture plan?
HACCP - CCP performed by an untrained person
HACCP for Cannabis cultivation - no CCPs?

Dear happyclaired,
A little clarification of yr requirements is maybe necessary.
Basic question. What is yr haccp plan to be used for ? If the answer is legislative, this may well define/limit yr presentation, eg SFBB was precisely devised to avoid the heavyweight haccp plans as implied in the related EC food directive.
If yr plan is intended to qualify in the latter genre, it may well need some further details (again, one needs to know regarding any particular standard), for example you hv made no mention of any specific biological hazards which is a rather fundamental starting point for most haccp plans. And Prerequisites, eg Purchase specifications, etc ?

PS, i guess yr posted haccp plan was originally a table, maybe easier for viewers to attach the original.
