Confusion over CCP and OPRP

Hi all,

I'm a bit confuse with CCP and OPRP when my team review the HACCP plan with our consultant.

Let say, my CCP is seaming process, the hazard is biological. We validate using scientific literature.

Then what happen if chemical and physical hazard for same step (seaming process) are an OPRP (after we do the significance of hazard).

Can we put in OPRP plan eventhough the process step is CCP?

Thank you.

(sorry for my bad english)

Dear ati,

AFAIK, ISO 22000 is prioritised on the finding / controlling of significant BCP(A) hazards, not the process steps as such.

So I presume you could, in principle, have a given location / process step where different hazards were controlled by control measures of capabilities matching either CCP or OPRP status, eg biological hazard > CCP status, chemical > OPRP status.

Are you sure that C/P are significant hazards at the seaming step ? :smile:  (canning not my area but seems rather unlikely?)(or perhaps you were just speculating?)
