Download or read book Best Practice Guidelines for the Production of Chilled Foods written by Chilled Food Association and published by Stationery Office/Tso. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The CFA Guidelines cover a wide range of chilled products of varying shelf lives, manufactured under different hygiene conditions. The structure of the Guidelines enables easy selection of the relevant information for the category of the products covered. Chilled foods can include both raw and heat-processed ingredients which must be microbiologically safe on consumption and pathogens that could result in illness need to be controlled. The CFA Guidelines provide the fundamental principles for the design of safe manufacturing operations. Businesses must show that food is fit to eat, this requires following risk-based procedures using the principles of HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points). The CFA Guidelines provide comprehensive information on HACCP including implementation and monitoring, verification and documentation.The Guidelines illustrate good practice to help the manufacturer to demonstrate that hazards have been controlled and to document that risks have been assessed. Areas are clearly highlighted that are either required by law or that are considered by CFA to ensure food safety and desirable conditions are also highlighted. The Guidelines provide a decision tree with case study examples to help identify the minimum class of area hygiene standards required. The Guidelines will also prove useful when working with local enforcement authorities to implement legal requirements at the production stage and may assist food business operators in complying with third party technical standards. The Guidelines present comprehensive information and guidance including: Main hazards; Control measures; HACCP systems; Shelf life assessment; Decision tree for minimum hygiene status; ·Regulatory requirements; Traceability; Product recall
Download or read book A Handbook of Food Packaging written by Frank A. Paine and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the second edition of a successful title first published in 1983 and now therefore a decade out of date. The authors consider the development of the right package for a particular food in a particular market, from the point of view of the food technologist, the packaging engineer and those concerned with marketing. While the original format has been retained, the contents have been thoroughly revised to take account of the considerable advances made in recent years in the techniques of food processing, packaging and distribution. While efficient packaging is even more a necessity for every kind of food, whether fresh or processed, and is an essential link between the food producer and the consumer, the emphasis on its several functions has changed. Its basic function is to identify the product and ensure that it travels safely through the distribution system to the consumer. Packaging designed and constructed solely for this purpose adds little or nothing to the value of the product, merely preserving farm or processor freshness or preventing physical damage, and cost effectiveness is the sole criterion for success. If, however, the packaging facilitates the use of the product, is reusable or has an after-use, some extra value can be added to justify the extra cost and promote sales. Many examples of packaging providing such extra value can be cited over the last decade.
Download or read book A Model of Compliance for the Self Regulation of an Industry written by Dr. Liz Wilks and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2022-09-14 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ensuring proper hygiene has always been at the forefront of the food-packaging industry that includes manufacturers and retailers. In a comprehensive abstract, Dr. Liz Wilks shares timeless insights from the results of revolutionary research that not only reviews how the UK food-packaging industry introduced a voluntary code of practice for packaging hygiene, but also developed guiding principles for companies to adopt. Dr. Wilks examines a multitude of topics that include a literature review of the food and packaging industry and practitioner insights that include survey data findings, the perceived benefit of implementing a global packaging standard, and the potential drivers and/or barriers to adoption. While providing a glimpse into how a group of key stakeholders came together in order to develop and implement a common UK food hygiene standard, she tracks one hundred companies over a five-year period to help guide other industries or companies to create their own guidelines and establish key principles for models of compliance. A Model of Compliance for the Self-Regulation of an Industry combines careful research with case studies and other valuable information to assist sectors or companies in the development and implementation of a new industry standard.
Download or read book The Manufacture of Vacuum and Modified Atmosphere Packaged Chilled Foods written by G. D. Betts and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide provides advice to assist manufacturers with the safe production of vacuum packaged and modified atmosphere packaged food products. It is an essential reference document for anyone producing these foods - including small scale operators.Vacuum and modified atmosphere packaging are highly effective ways of preventing food spoilage but can create conditions which may lead to growth of anaerobic organisms such as Clostridium botulinum. This code of practice gives clear and practical advice on what conditions must be met in order to give chilled vacuum-packaged foods a shelf-life of more than 10 days. It details why such precautions are necessary and, in simple terms, explains the science behind the conditions under which psychrotrophic Clostridium botulinum will grow and produce toxin, and importantly when it will not, so enabling manufacturers to produce a range and variety of safe chilled products. It also gives background information on current relevant legislation and packaging aspects.The advice given here updates that given in the first edition of the code, published in 1996, and takes into account the review of recommendations undertaken by the Food Standards Agency in 2008.

Download or read book Food Industry and Packaging Materials Performance oriented Guidelines for Users written by Salvatore Parisi and published by Smithers Rapra. This book was released on 2013-04-18 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides detailed and comprehensible information about Quality Control (QC) in the industry. Different viewpoints are explained in relation to food companies, packaging producers and technical experts, including regulatory aspects. One of the most important steps is the comprehension of QC failures in relation to the 'food product' (food/packaging). The book also presents a detailed selection of proposals about new testing methods. On the basis of regulatory obligations in the EU about the technological suitability of food packaging materials, a list of 'performance-oriented' guidelines is proposed. Food sectors are mentioned in relation to products, related packaging materials, known failures and existing quality control procedures. This volume serves as a practical guide on food packaging and QC methods and a quick reference to food operators, official safety inspectors, public health institutions, Certification bodies, students and researchers from the academia and the industry.
