Hello. I'm new to the forum and I can say that I appreciate the administrators of this forum as well as all of the helpful responses that have been helpful in understanding the need for the processes of feeod safety. Wth that being said, I need HELP asap developing HACCP plans and flow charts for home pickling and canning of several fruits and vegetables. I have read somethings here that were very helpful but I just want to no if I am developing mine accordingly. This is my first experience and would greatly appreciate anyone's input. I looked into purchasing HACCP software but they are costly and I am not able to afford one at this moment. I have 27 recipes....must I do an individual plan and chart for each? Or can I combine all the vegetables on one plan and all fruits on another?

So far, thisis an example of one I am in the process of creating......will this be sufficient for my flow chart as well?

ANY AND ALL COMMENTS ARE HUMBLY APPRECIATED.

Dear Nene,

Any answer may depend on who you are planning to submit the results to ??

It looks like some of data in first post is missing from 2nd post ?

It looks like what you hv posted is a summary of the results of a hazard analysis for a "process". Frankly I'm not sure what the related process is?
Better to attach an example document(s) with the original flow chart diagram, hazard analysis if possible.

If the various items you are canning have similar flow charts / CCPs, it is quite likely that a combination is possible. However if the CCPs vary and / or critical limits are numerically different, will probably need to separate. Difficult to say much more without some (legible) examples.
