Has anyone discovered a CCP in a produce distribution environment? We operate a warehouse bringing in produce then distributing the materials back out to local retail establishments - essentially a middle man. Thoughts?

I wouldn't imagine you'd have a CCP in that situation

 

You obviously need to be monitoring for temperatures and general GMPs (tightly closed doors/windows/pests etc) 

 

A CCP is a point in the process whereby a known hazard could become out of control----


Please stop referring to me as Sir/sirs

No CCPs but temperature control is most likely a PC (preventive control).

I worked at a similar company (by the sounds of it) and receival was a CCP for us. We had historically received produce on pallets that were dirty and could have contaminated our facility (odours, soil, rocks on pallets) or other produce (in particular via physical debris on pallets when we were double stacking them). We had a receival checklist that covered the main observable hazards (visual, including bacterial decay, and odour) which was completed. The SQF auditor was happy with that. 

 

It was designated a CCP before I started and stayed that way each year when we reviewed the HACCP plan.

Hi HF,

 

As you illustrate, the response to the OP could relate to the specific operational details of the business. Unfortunately such details are unknown. Ganderson ?


Kind Regards,
