Hello,

 

Is there any resource available on categorizing food ingredients by type. I recall from my previous employer that the HACCP plan broke down the ingredients that went into making the finished product. For instance; oils were listed as a category, types of cheeses, spices, flavor were also some of the categories or types of foods that were listed.

 

Is there a long list that exist that I can use in order to get all of the ingredients that we use in our plant categorized? I am looking at some of these  ingredients and I am not sure what they are without having to research them. It would be nice to have this set up for all of the personnel on my team.

 

Thanks

Hi mec,

 

I recall seeing a small example "portion" of the Kraft categorised list of their handled ingredients - simply Gi-normous.

 

But i don't offhand remember seeing any textbook examples of official systems such as Dewey for Books.

 

Maybe someone here is well-organised enough to be able to offer an example. Hope so.
 


Kind Regards,

 

Charles.C

FDA has a category list for use in inspection tasks: https://www.fda.gov/...s/ucm114704.htm

 

Another list you might consider using is the RACC (reference amounts customarily consumed) table (and USDA's table in title 9), which is a reasonable "legal" list to categorize foods. However it's important to note that these lists aren't based on shared food safety risks, so be careful how you're using them.

FDA issued this draft guidance for hazards in types of food that may be of some use.

I have categorized ingredients/inputs by similarity and associated hazards.

 

The FDA guidance is a nice start, but I still think it is a bit too broad.
