Soybean Oil Refinery HACCP
Looking for a basic outline of a HACCP plan for a Soybean Oil Refinery. Particularly interested in what CCP's were identified and how controled.
Check each section of this draft guidance. https://www.fda.gov/...a/ucm517402.pdf
Page 67: identifies no bio hazards
Page 134: identifies "mycotoxins / natural toxins" as a potential hazard
Page 216: identifies "undeclared allergens - incorrect label", "undeclared allergen - cross contact", and "glass (when product is packed in glass)" as potential physical hazards
Once you identify the hazards, you should be able to identify how those hazards are controlled and which of those controls are critical.
From my experience (and knowing nothing about what you do), I would expect "product screening" to be a CCP to remove physical hazards from the oil prior to shipping.
Thank you, this helps confirm what I have started. We currently are a manufacturer of roasted soybeans and an extruded soybean meal product for the dairy feed industry. A byproduct is crude soybean oil. We are currently constructing a Soybean Oil Refinery to take the crude soybean oil from our feed manufacturing plants and refine for bulk sales into the Food market (vs. our current dairy cattle feed market).
Currently I have id'ed CCP's as our Deodorizing step (high temp under vacuum - kill step) and a final filtration step before bulk storage.
Below is probably not US-specific but seems that elsewhere CCPs vs PRPs may be contentious -

Thanks Charles.C I have reviewed this information previously and found it helpful. In practice, I tend to be a skeptic and look for updates/changes or contradictory information thus my decision to issue a new post. I appreciate your help with this and previous posts!
