At our beverage manufacturing plant, we are going to start adding a few drops of liquid nitrogen to still beverages before they are sealed to increase the bottle strength.
I need to update our hazard analysis but am not too familiar with this process.
Can anyone shed light on the risks of using liquid nitrogen (from a food safety point of view, not OSH)? All I can think of is if an operator was very quick to take a bottle off the line and drank it before the nitrogen had vaporised then they could get freeze burns in their mouth/ throat.
Appreciate the help :)
