Hello fellow food scientist enthusiasts!

I am making a HACCP plan for our agriculture facility and we use biologicals such as:

Entomite
Atheta
Chrysopa
Aphidend
Capsanem
Entonem
Trianum

 

Does anyone have any suggestions or advice for B, C and P hazards for these?

 

Thanks!

The only hazard you're really going to have with any of those is in crop harvest reductions due to over use

 

Ensure you're following pre harvest intervals where applicable (as per label)  and do not use these for any off label uses (farmers are the worst for pushing boundaries IMHO)

 

Assuming your applying these to your fields/crops?

Thanks for you reply. We are applying these to indoor greenhouses. Would overuse be biological or chemical hazard?

Is there a Standard involved ?

Depending on what they are growing in the greenhouses,  they would possibly fall  under the FSMA Produce Safety Rule.
