Dear all
Would like to seek your expertise advice.
Do/Will you consider frozen receiving e.g raw and processed food as a CCP?

Anywhere I may refer besides using HACCP ccp decision tree to decide?

Thanks.

It depends on what your processes are, Is that specific process (the frozen receiving) going to eliminate or reduce any hazards you have identified? Yes you have to do your HACCP decision tree along with your HA to determine.

If it is a third party frozen warehouse, keeping all readily processed products.
Frozen receiving is a ccp as no subsequence step to eliminate it.

Appreciate your kind sharing on your view.

Hi kylo,

 

These days, IMEX, this stage is almost always designated as a Prerequisite program.

Hi Kylo

 

Yes if you receive product frozen and and it is perishable at room temperature (as short shelve life) then it should be classified as CCP.

I'm sure the opinions will differ depending on product but we receive frozen fruits, vegetables and breads and don't have frozen receipt as a CCP as to my knowledge it isn't critical to food safety. Coming in above temperature would still be cause for a rejection on the basis of re-freezing the product affecting the quality however.

I would agree to consider it as a Pre-requisite program (as mentioned in post 4 above).

Most of the time receiving is a prerequisite program, process control program in most industries.

 

However some industries it is a CCP, because it is industry norm and/or customer requirement (e.g airline catering).

 

So in the context given above,

Q1: Do preventive control measure exist = YES

Q2: Is the step specifically designed to eliminate or reduce the likely occurrence of a hazard to an acceptable level = NO

Q3: Could contamination of identified hazard/s occur in excess of acceptable level = YES (if frozen processed RTE is thawed, growth of microorganism can occur)

Q4: Will a subsequent step eliminate identified hazard/s or reduce likely occurrence to an acceptable level = NO

Then, CCP.
