Hello,
How should we decide on the zoning for a packaging area as either high care or low risk?
The packaging area is where metal detector is, but all products are fully enclosed.
Finished product requires to be stored frozen --> high care
Finished product are ready to eat --> high care
There would be one or two employees going from high care processing area into the packaging area without any uniform change --> high care
Product has previously been covered, but is being shrink wrapped in packaging area. Would this be considered "ENCLOSED"? --> high care?
There is no physical wall as a complete segregation (only half a wall) between processing area and packaging area -> low risk
Warehouse team needs to drive their pallet jack to deliver pallets into this packaging area (contains wooden pallets) --> low risk
There is no handwash station, boot wash or foot foamer outside of this area prior to warehouse pallet jack entering --> low risk
Warehouse team needs to come in and pick up the pallet to move it into the warehouse --> low risk
There is no uniform or coat change when warehouse team enters --> low risk
Finished product are kept frozen and not thawed until prior to consumption --> low risk
Appreciate any input!!
