Hello Abrehet , 

Nice to meet you ! 

Well about constructing a risk assessment for sesame oil , it is better to do your own according to your industry , just keep in mind the five types of hazards: 

1. Biological.

2. Chemical.

3. Physical.

4. Allergen.

5. Radiology (if present).

 

I suggest for doing Risk assessment you can use FMEA template (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) , it will be more detailed but it will be strength point.

Also i hope these links help you

Hi Abrehet,

 

Is there a specific finished product ?

 

Is a specific food safety standard involved, eg BRC ?

 

The haccp  hazards will relate to the raw material / process / process environment.

 

Please provide some details.


Kind Regards,

Also note:  sesame is a known allergen in some countries so the required labeling may be different depending on where you are shipping this product to

Hi Charles,

 

I have same query. Our organization is certified under ISO 22000:2005 standard. We have a new product which is SESAME OIL and there is a need to update our HACCP. I have some troubles regarding identification of potential hazard because we purchase the sesame oil and sell to our customer, no further processing is involve.

 

In relation to food chain, our organization is on distribution side. We purchase sesame oil, we store, then we deliver it to our customer. Can you give me idea regarding the requirement of sesame oil (e.g. reference regulation, hazard associated with this product etc.) 

 

Charles, you've help me a lot of times since year 2014, I'm asking you once again, please extend your help.

 

Thank you in advance!

As per product spec from the supplier, it is not clearly declared whether it's a refined or not.

 

We have no quality specification set, however, our customer have set of quality requirements which we used in choosing suppliers.

Hi Charles,

 

Thanks you very much for this.

 

I will just search for regulation for the limits/permissible level of this hazards. Or if you have idea please let me know.

Hi Patrick,

 

Salmonella should be absent, ie not detectable.

Allergen involves a labelling declaration.

The others relate to designation of product / location of usage / purchase contract,etc
