K Cup Quality Program Critical Control Points
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.

Glenn I think the OP is a consultant?
original poster I think
Ah oh... what'a an OP?
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.
Thank you for the links . As a brand new member to your group I appreciate the help.
