I do have a process flow diagram, I am going to have MAP as an option in the packaging step. We are a very small plant, so putting it as an option in a HACCP plan is the easiest and most logical thing for us to do at this point.
I know that for RTE foods my two biggest concerns are going to be C. bot and Lm growing in a reduced oxygen atmosphere. The problem I'm having is I'm unable to find scientific research, a paper, data, etc. that says if the food is produced in this temperature, with this mix of gasses it is not reasonably likely for C.bot or Lm to have outgrowth. I posted on here in hopes someone could point me in the right direction to use for my Verification. Any suggestions?
