Hi Ary Muzo,

It may depend on the intended use of the Table, eg Customer/Regulatory/FS Standard but some typical ideas for a Codex HACCP/NACMCF HACCP purpose are illustrated in this post and its sublink -

Hi Dr Vu,

I guess you refer to this document -

Generic haccp models Fresh produce,2001.pdf   2.04MB   82 downloads

The (not unusual) difficulty with this thread is that actual product/process of interest is unknown.

The Product Description in attachment (eg pg 34) is usefully multi-functional/generic although oriented to items minimally processed post farmgate.

At that time (2001) it's interesting to see the beginning of awareness of  E.coli O157 potential in fresh produce. How times have changed !
