Supporting Documentation Material for HACCP Decisions Mary Kay Folk and Lynn Knipe Ohio State University Thermal Processing Short Course
FSIS RTE Proposed Rule suggested that the agency will expect establishments to document the safety of their processes: • hazard analysis decisions • validation of plans • corrective actions taken
HACCP Documentation Material • Developed to assist smaller meat processors in the scientific documentation of their HACCP decisions. • Compilation of scientific publications related to food safety.
Organized by HACCP process category. • Designed to assist you after you have identified the specific hazards and critical control points in your process. • Search parameters under each hazard that you have identified, that match your product and/or process.
Not all possible hazards are covered in this material. • Many hazards that are included may not be identified in your HACCP plan. • Currently on the FSIS and OSU Meat Science websites.
Process Potential Hazards Process Parameters Decision Criteria Scientific Documentation Formulation C – Excessive nitrite level in product Addition of preblended cure including sodium nitrite “[If] using sodium nitrite diluted with sodium chloride, which is received from the manufacturer with a continuing letter of guarantee, then acute nitrite toxicity is not a problem.” . Borchert, L.L., and R. G. Cassens. 1998. Chemical hazard analysis for sodium nitrite in meat curing. American Meat Institute Foundation Paper. http://www.ag.ohio-state.edu/~meatsci/borca2.htm Example from Supporting Documentation Materials for HACCP Fully Cooked, Not Shelf Stable Process “Extreme caution must be exercised if pure sodium nitrite is used.” “The conservative estimate for a lethal dose in humans is 14 mg/kg, meaning the dose would be 1 g [(0.0022 lb)] for a 70 kg [(154 lb)] adult and 0.2 g [(8.8x10-5 lb)] for a 15 kg [(33 lb)] child.” Addition of pure sodium nitrite
