Maxine : Hi Marlan
Jen : Thank you Torrey. I'm having problems proving to maintenance that they need to install filters closer to POU, but there is no official regulation for me to present to them for reason to do the work.
Mary Claire : good day to you
Torrey : Jorge, let Trace know if you would like them to train your staff - they sometimes do guest presentations.
Marlan : Hi Maine
RABIU : iHi Rabiu from Ghana
Greg : United States
Torrey : Carissa, try refreshing your feed - little blue button at the bottom of the screen
Trevor : No audio issues. Use a desktop or laptop. Mobile doesn't work well.
Alyssa : if you cannot hear or see the presentation, you might try a different browser like Chrome, or it may be blocked as SImon says
Todd
:
Does compressed only need to be monitored if there is direct food contact or even if just used to run the equipment, but no
compressed air directly blowing on the food. packaging or sufaces.
aseel : i can't hear and see also
Chris : if you can't hear or see presentation, try chrome or firefox browser
Neena : Try to refresh
Davcid Kallay : I have no video or sound is there a call in number so I can hear the presentation?
Simon Timperley : David try google chrome
Torrey
:
Todd - indirect contact from
compressed air should also be monitored according to BCAS
Oluwadamilare : Yes
Torrey : That includes packaging, conveyor belt cleaning, and pneumatic tools
Jema : Hi! Jema from Nigeria
Todd : Thanks Torrey
Oluwadamilare : I am actually from Nigeria but live in the United State.
Ahmed : Is there any microbiological standards for air samples
Jorge : Hi, does anyone know if we can get this webinar after. Would like to show use for company training.
Jen : how close to point of use must the filter be placed?
Tausi Abdul Mkalimoto : I am still phasing some difficulties on connections ,tried Google Chrome but it doesn't show anything.
Edwarda : Hi from Poland!
Simon Timperley : yes Jorge
Jorge : Thanks Simon.
Torrey
:
Ahmed, there are not specifications in the food industry, but regulating bodies do require that they be monitored. Corporate specs should depend on your risk assessment and
critical control points.
marcia : HI
Torrey : Jen, as close to the point-of-use as possible.
Marlan : Marlan Cole -Director Food and Drug Department Guyana
Marlan : Hi All
Simon Timperley : Torrey can you get a message to Nikki to turn my volume up a little so that they can hear me.
Mimoza : Mimoza Canada
RABIU : hello from Ghana
Judy : Judy New Jersey
Mary Claire
:
what are the critical limits of the prameters being tested for the
compressed air?
Torrey : Jen, great point. SQF suggests point-of-use filters. 11.5.7 Edition 8 refers to risk factors that assist in determining location and frequency of filtration.
Christy : Hello from Jackson, TN
Vickie : I can't connect
Tami : Hi from PA
Torrey : Mary - I believe they will get into that shortly
Andrea : Hi from South Dakota
Wilder
:
do we still need to monitor
compressed air if there is a final skill step on the product at all times?
Angie : How can we view this presentation again? I have to stop viewing early due to a meeting off site.
Mary Claire : Thank you Torrey
Torrey : Mary, critical limits (or specifications) are determined by a hazard analysis (risk to your product - I believe Trace did a previous webinar on this the other month with SQF)...
Nurani Sinaga : Hi from Indonesia
Angie : Will this link be emailed to us?
Torrey : Angie, you will receive an email with the presentation.
Philrose librado : Hi from Philippines
Simon Timperley : We email the recording and slides after the webinar.
RABIU : what are the parameters to be checked
Angie : Thank you Torrey!!
Torrey : Rabiu, they will mention this later in the presentation.
Torrey : Wilder, what is your final skill step?
RABIU : thanks tORRY
Jane : Hi everybody!
Wilder : Thermal kill step
Ying : hi
Torrey : Kill step* It depends on risks. It may kill microbes, but CAGI also mentions contaminants like particles, water, and oil
Aparna
:
Wilder,
Compressed air will not be a
CCP if there is a thermal step and this will be determined as per the decision tree.
Nizar
:
What piping material would you recommend for the
compressed air?
Aparna : I mean thermal step after.
Torrey : Nizar, great question! Stainless steal. Trace has great materials on this in their previous webinar -link posted earlier in the chat.
David : Is that risk assessment like a FMEA?
Wilder : Thank you Torrey and Aparna
Aparna : David, Yes it is like FMEA
Julia : Can you provide the website for the webinar?
Torrey : Julia, IFSQN
Carlos Rodrigues : Pennsylvania USA
Kirsi : Thanks in advance of recording and files because I am not able to see or hear at the moment - only this chats :)
Shamaail : How can we make use of this subject?
Abdallah : Hello
Sujit Kumar : Where to find the draft copy of saplings procedure and schedule any link please
Nizar : thanks Torrey for the info.
Torrey
:
Trace's risk assessment is specific to
compressed air and has a blank risk assessment available for you to use. They may be able to send it out again with the followup email.
Lupita : The practices of changing certification auditors depend on the CErtification Body. It is not a general rule that the same auditor will stay with a company for three years
Torrey : Lupita, I believe she was referring to the client's SQF auditor.

Brian : Ahh, OK...sorry, Simon!
Oluwadamilare : Air and Environment
Simon Timperley : no problem, in future we all need to wear earbuds
Tausi Abdul Mkalimoto : As I am trying to join it gives a message saying Problem with audio or video?
Torrey : Lupita, do you have the link to the other risk assessment?
Yehia : Hi everybody
Neena : @David, They recommend to dry hand to eliminate the possibility of water contaminants to stay low. not necessarily to completely eliminate them. that why we use sanitizers
Philrose librado : Hi from Philippines
Lupita : Torrey, the other risk assessment?
Torrey : FEM...
Brian : How do we know what Purity Class we should be attaining?
Lupita : Have you got a reference document about which ISO 8573-1 purity classes should be used for different food products?
Torrey : Brian, a hazard analysis is a great first step. The previous webinar covers this as well.
Torrey : Lupita - BCAS is one of the only organizations that mentions specifications for food. Indirect contact: 2:4:2 and Direct: 2:2:1
Ahmed : Can we categorize airborne micro organisms standards according to their sizes in the chart
Torrey : Trace does have a document that has references for common corporate guidelines for certain product types that they have seen
Torrey : Ruby is on top of it! Perfectly in line with the questions :)
Lupita : Thanx for the info Torrey
Torrey : Any time, Lupita!
Nigel : HI from SA
Torrey : Neena, can you answer Ahmed's question?
Bernard
:
In the pharmaceutical wold, we have air classes like class A, B, C, D or ISo classes related to air particles. For
compressed air, I get the requirment to be in line with the room air class. Is htere a table available which makes the link?
omar elshebli : thanx for information
Bernard : Thank you Torrey!
Tausi Abdul Mkalimoto : Thanks,
Camille : Hi. No one in Jamaica has this equipment to test for micoorganisms. How do we get around this?
Darwin : what is this equipment?
Ahmed : Is it easy portable?
Torrey : Darwin - impaction sampler per ISO 8573-7 methods. Trace uses the Pinocchio Super II.
Alyssa
:
We have a kill step (jar inversion) after product has had the lid applied (clean
compressed air entry pt). would this still be considered a
CCP, the c. air or the inversion step?
Torrey : Ahmed, it can be packed into a case.
Neena : Ahmed- Yes it is portable. weight around 12lbs
Torrey : Camille, you can purchase the equipment from Trace.
Joe : Camille - metered air blow into a sample bag for visual inspection for oil and particulates and same air blow over a sponge for microbial analysis is acceptable for SQF
Heida : Great information. Thank you
Ahmed : Thanks Neena for reply
jon : How do you test moisture to Class 1?
Camille : Thanks Joe, maybe it will work for FSSC.
Simon : Great presentation, very useful information. Thank you!
Torrey : Joe, that is not acceptable per ISO 8573-1 standards
Kris : Great presentation! Thank you for providing us with this useful information!
Ahmed
:
And Torrey also
thnx
Camille : Torrey, thanks, what would you recommend?
Sophie : Hand dryers: we usually just sanitize with alcohol, just after
Michelle : Awesome presentation!
linda phillips : Excellent Presentation, thank you so much
jon : What plates do you use to plate for mold and bacteria?
Jane : Thank you Ruby for the presentation. I've learnt alot and appreciate it.
natalia tsumanets : thankyou for useful information
Raquel Alonso : thank you!
Jacinthe
:
(1) Have there been any confirmed cases of contamination of products in connection with
compressed air?
Neena : JOn- we use TSA plated with Tween and Lec
Torrey : Camille - An impaction sampler. But, Joe is correct if you are not trying to meet possible international standards. Contact Ruby after the presentation and she can send you some recommendations.
Chitrangani : Thanks a lot !
Jema : Great presentation Rubby. Very informative and educative. Thank you.
sandra : Thank you for a very informative presentation.
Lisa : Do you provide any on-site testing services?
ABDERRAOUF : thanks a lot
Angel : We are a co-packer of dired ingredients with no temp control or kill steps whose products do not come into direct contact. Would you recommend we do the base line or just state that we fall under indirect [2:4:2]?
Tricia : Are there specific equipment and methods for testing other gas systems, like Nitrogen?
Torrey : Jacinthe - yes. Including recalls. If you contact Ruby, she can get you this information as well.
Ahmed : Can we use particle range to set standards for microbial limits
Torrey : Lisa, yes Trace provides services through distributors nationally.
Torrey : Tricia, Trace has purity gas testing kits.
RABIU
:
What micron size of filter will you recommend for
compressed air sterilisation
Mary Claire : how about the CO for treating tuna to promote color retention
Mukesh : Hi Simon, if u plz lower the volume of your system while speaking, your voice will not do eco sound
Tricia : Thank you!
Anggoro : thanks
Torrey : Ahmed, in the food industry, you can set corporate specs based on your hazard analysis. Measuring bacteria, mold, and yeast through CFU count and gram staining.
jon : How much air needs to flow past your filter pad to get an accurate measurement?
Torrey : Rabiu, 0.1 micron per SQF at point-of-use.
Lisa : How do you handle hose that has become contaminated with water or oil?
Lady
:
if the
compressed air have direct contact with film, which then the film have direct contact with food. Then we should test the
compressed air,?
Judy : Thanks!
Chris : what do you do if a .01micron filter reduces your air pressure >20%
Torrey : Lady, great question. Yes - this would be considered indirect contact.
RABIU : how do i test the intergrity of the filters
Jen : what about bottle inverters/bottle blowers? is there a way to filter these?
Alyssa
:
is it a
CCP if the lid (
compressed air contact) goes through a kill-step, bottle inversion, AFTERwards?
