Reworked material in product description
Hi. According to Malaysian standard's haccp, we need to included "reworked material" in the product description, does anyone here know or have any idea what does it mean by " reworked material'?
Hi QCDept,
Reworked means any material from a previous batch is processed into a new batch. Examples;
- Reworking left over dough from a previous production into a new production.
- Repacking a product because of misslabeling
- Reprocessing cooking sausages (miscellaneous cuts or trimmings) into new sausages
- Using left over cookie crumbs into cookie icecream ;)
Maybe your process does not include rework, than it can be stated as such.
If you do use rework you should perform a risk analysis. Main problems lies in tracability and cross-contamination (bacteria, allergens, undeclared ingrediënts).
Hope this helps!
