I have been asked to help a small company that is in process of setting up a K cup packaging  process for their coffee. They presently grind and roast their beans and ship the finished product out for packaging. I am assuming this is a automated process. Not having much experience in food safety what may be measured or monitored during this packaging process ?  I am familiar with HACCP but not familiar with what would be the critical point . Thank you in advance

I live in coffee country - Costa Rica and Panama. There is a roaster not more than 1/2 mile down the road here. Their HACCP program is quite robust and they are going to SQF now.

 

Having read what you wrote I would highly suggest you find a food safety consultant that can help you in the set up, it really is quite the undertaking for someone without experience and you'll learn in the process many things.

Thanks Scampi!

 

Well, simon, maybe a consultant, but does not seem like a food safety consultant by the posting.

that seems to be going around Glenn

There is a correctness in that I am not a  Food Safety Consultant or have extensive FMS  experienced but have knowledge on ISO and AS QMS. I was hoping that I could learn a few things prior to my visit and take any suggestions given and relay them to the customer.  I am a non profit Manufacturing consultant through the MEP program run by the Commerce department.
