Preventive Measures<br />
Significant hazards are not likely to occur Physical or chemical hazards<br />
from equipment or facilities<br />
shoul be prevented by routine<br />
maintenance (GMP’s).<br />
No significant hazards likely to occur identified<br />
CAN CLEANING P (Foreign Material) -Foreign material remains.<br />
C-No significant hazards - toxic metal poisoning<br />
not likely to occur.<br />
FORMULATION B-If not <strong>for</strong>mulated per processing authority’s<br />
recommendations, the thermal process may be<br />
inadequate.<br />
FILLING B-If not filled per processing authority’s<br />
recommendations, the thermal process may be<br />
inadequate.<br />
SEALING No significant hazards likely to occur identified.<br />
THERMAL<br />
PROCESSING AND<br />
COOLING<br />
LABELING AND<br />
CASING<br />
B-Improper application of the thermal process<br />
may not provide sufficient lethality to achieve<br />
shelf stability.<br />
No significant hazards, likely to occur identified.<br />
STORAGE No significant hazards likely to occur identified<br />
SHIPPING No significant hazards likely to occur identified<br />
* Not to be included in a plant-specific <strong>HACCP</strong> plan.<br />
Examples of How Hazard Is<br />
Introduced *<br />
Physical hazards from lack of<br />
equipment or facility maintenance.<br />
Cleaning operation. P-The <strong>for</strong>eign material present at<br />
receiving plus any that may have<br />
entered the containers during storage<br />
and handling since then remains in the<br />
container.<br />
Operational <strong>for</strong>mulation<br />
controls.<br />
B-The wrong type of starch is used in<br />
<strong>for</strong>mulating a gravy or too much of a<br />
dry ingredient is used.<br />
Operational filling controls. B-In a two-stage fill, too many solids<br />
such as potatoes, carrots, etc., are filled<br />
leaving insufficient volume <strong>for</strong> the<br />
proper amount of gravy<br />
Operational thermal processing<br />
controls.<br />
B-Retort temperature drops, the<br />
thermal process is terminated early, the<br />
retort is not vented properly,<br />
condensate accumulates in the retort,<br />
cooling water enters the retort during<br />
cooking.
