I transitioned from a fried food USDA plant to an FDA plant with simulated meats.
For USDA, I am cooking raw batter to lethality. For FDA, I am cooking raw batter but the end consumer will be "cooking" the product.
Based on my HACCP experience, this heating step is a CCP for USDA. Would I consider it a CCP/lethality step for ready to cook or is it just a processing step for product quality?
Advice? Examples?
