What are the possible PCB hazards associated with packaging of rice ( from bulk to small packs using auger packing machine), ??
i assume this is RTE.
Assuming raw material not having an astronomic pathogenic bacterial content, cooked so as to 6D destroy L.monocytogenes, cooled in an appropriatey short time + sanitary handling / environment >
B spore formers, eg B.cereus, C.perfringens.
+ C as below assuming equivalent (or better) process control (bar cooking/cooling step)
+ P as below (or maybe <than) assuming equivalent (or better) process control (bar cooking/cooling step)
If it's not RTE then potentially almost everything under the sun depending on its history / yr process.
e.g some bacterial possibilities are -
B .: Salmonella spp., Pathogenic Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus and/or Staphylococcal enterotoxin, Clostridium perfringens, Campylobacter jejuni, Bacillus cereus, Yersinia spp., Brucella spp etc
C Presence of environmental contaminants (pesticides)
C Presence of antibiotics/sulphonamides
C Presence of undeclared allergens could impact on sensitive individuals
C Contamination by non-food chemicals (e.g.: cleaners, sanitizers and lubricants)
P Presence of hazardous extraneous material
The list goes on.
