Hello  All,

I am performing a risk assessment for all my ingredients in a beef burrito  and a few of the ingredients are chipotle seasoning, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and onion powder.  Does anybody know the hazards associated  with this particular product?  Biological, Physical, or Chemical?

 

Thank  you,

 

Marvis Brown

Dear MBrown042 -

 

   The most recent data is from FDA.

http://www.fda.gov/F...t/ucm367339.htm

 

If the link does not work, just go to FDA.gov and type in Risk Assessment: Pathogens and Filth in Spices. Other than the document itself, the main discussion page gives several of the references used to develop the assessment.

 

PS - Found my copy...

Typical chemical hazards in chilli products : Sudan Red; Ochratoxin A and Aflatoxins

Typical Biological Hazards in seasonings (excl salt):  micro

Typical physical Hazards: foreign objects such as stones and sometimes even metal from the milling process

What about salt? I have been asked to specifically call out the Biological, Chemical and Physical hazards for salt associated with salt.

 

Thank you!

I assume the salt is intended to be a food ingredient ?

 

it should be food grade so BCPA hazards are discernible from such requirements.

 

Below Canadian attachment gives these hazards -

 

SALT (NaCl)  
         Data:  FDR, Division 17
 
Type of Hazard         Name of Hazard
          C      Contamination by non-food chemicals (e.g.: non-food grade)
          C      Contamination by excess of food additive
         P       Presence of hazardous extraneous material

 

(ie B = 0)(A=0)

"P" in quote above is expanded in the above reference

 

For "C" above can see s3a,s3b here -

or pic.below (FCC Standard)(or see USP standard etc)

If you dislike B=0, see s3a above.

For salt, you might want to check Codex Standards for chemical contaminants.
