Dear all

 

Need your advice on below case...

 

My company is producing food additive (flavor enhancer) using fermentation & refining process

Because of market demand, we are intending to produce one of amino acid for feed additive in the same production line with the same amino acid for food additive (we have been producing it for years). So the scenario will be several weeks for feed then back to food additive in one line

 

My question is: could anybody suggest me the relevan regulation and/or justification on changing one line from food to feed and then back to food additive?

 

Kind regards,

Enggar

Dear Enggar,

 

Any particular FS standard ? Do any Indonesian local regulations exist (or is this what you are specifically seeking)?

Thanks Charles..

 

We've been applying BRC food since 2010 and I didn't find any clear explanation on it (or perhaps I missed it?). And I'm now asking my colleagues in HQ to find any clear explanation from any standard.

Dear Enggar,

 

I would imagine the FS answer to yr query depends on whether any BCP, FS hazards are possible due cross-contamination, eg allergenic factors.?

 

What is yr current procedure at changeovers in order to prevent/minimize cross-contamination ? How is the procedure validated for effectiveness ?

(or perhaps you are trying to justify having no additional precautions ?)

 

Minimally, adherence to Specification comes to mind.
