Can there be oPRPs after process steps identified as CCPs?
Can there be oPRPs after the process steps which have been identified as CCPs. For example after pasteurisaton (which is a CCP), whether the subsequent steps like filing, packing, storage be treated as oPRPs?

As per the stepwise iso22000 procedure, the conclusion typically depends on whether any process step is -
(a) associated with a significant BCPA hazard ?
(b) if answer to (a) is yes, then the decision as to whether an oprp or a CCP exists is determined by applying 7.4.4 (a-g) and using appropriate differentiation criteria.
So, in principle, the answer to yr OP is maybe.
Thank you for your info
Yes, also because the hazards at the subsequent steps could be different from the hazard at the CCP. Example pasteurization with re-contamination during packing.
