Hi All -
I need some help with HACCP for small batch production.
We currently fill extracts into gallon jugs through a single piston filler with a filter as a CP, this process is risk assessed in our HACCP manual.
One of our customers orders between 1 and 10 gallons at a time, and manufacturing does not want to set up and use the equipment/process described in the flow chart and risk assessment because it is not cost effective. Our plant manager is insisting that R&D mixes the bulk for the small orders themselves using lab equipment and hand fills it into the gallon jugs. There would be no filter/CP.
How do I incorporate this into our HACCP manual and make it an ‘official process’? Add a new process risk assessment and flow chart?
Thanks in advance, any input would be greatly appreciated!
