C: Aflatoxin amount determination |
C: Aflatoxin level should be detected, if the total aflatoxin amount is higher than 10 ppb, quarantine the batch and apply correction practises. e.g. irradiation |
Storage in bulk |
B: Fungus, Bacteria, Insects, Rodents |
B: Containers and warehouse have to be clean, dry and free of visible fungal growth, insects and any contaminated material. The containers should be well constructed to withstand handling abuse without breaking or puncturing, and tightly sealed to prevent any access of dust, fungal spores, insects or other foreign material. Good Storage Practises (GSP) will be applied. |
CCP4 |
P: Generally not |
P: - |
C: Aflatoxin contamination |
C: Relative humidity and temperature of warehouse have to be setas; RH <70%, T < 5°C for the inhibition of fungus growth and aflatoxin occurence.Water activity of product should be checked; Aw < 0.7. Controlled atmosphere storage (CAS), Modified atmosphere storage (MAS) might be applied |
Packaging |
B: Fungus, Bacteria, Insects, Rodents |
B: Areas where raw materials are going to be received or stored will be physically separated from areas in which final product preparation or packaging is conducted as to preclude contamination of the finished product. GMP will be applied. Yeast and mold number in the end-product should be max 1x102 cfu.mg-1
