Hello everyone, I have a simple question and I hope someone from the egg industry can help me. A client of mine (pasta company) has these holding tanks for pasteurized eggs from where eggs are transferred by a piping system to a pasta mixer. The whole room and system are kept below 3C. A batch of eggs can be used over 2-3 days. Now, they empty this holding tank every day (transfer the eggs to a clean temporary SS tub), clean the tank and return the eggs. I was trying to find out in the CFIA's Processed Eggs Manual if this is a requirement (daily cleaning of pasteurized eggs reservoirs), but with no luck so far. I believe there is more risk in transferring eggs to another container and returning them back, than keeping them in the original holding tank for a few days without washing. Bacterial load over three days is minimal and I see no reason to continue with a daily cleaning. Is this an industry norm? CFIA requirement? Thanks for the help.
