Hi McForman,
Thks for details.
The thought of ca.40 rooms removing debris from dry beans is indeed somewhat mind-boggling.
I admit having no experience with this product but it sounds like a very low risk process from a haccp POV ?
I do wonder if having cameras "everywhere" reflects a FDA/Management cultural characteristic equally as much as a safeguard to "tampering"?
I could maybe understand an abundance of surveillance if a high risk product or secret process knowledge was involved but (no offence intended) yr description sounds more like a Prison.
PS - I have worked in 2 factories (mainly low risk haccp) which installed cameras with the monitor in the Boss's room. The first became sufficiently boring that it was soon turned off, the second generated a sufficiently negative worker response that the night shift blacked out all the lenses causing abandonment of the project.. I don't recall any malicious product tampering though.
