HACCP on ice cream

Other than the 3 CCPs i mentioned in my previous post, i found out that flavoring the ice cream mix is also a CCP.

- CCP: Flavoring mix
- Hazards: Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella
- Critical limits: No pathogenic microorganisms
- Monitoring: Supplier guarantee and good hygiene practice
- Corrective actions: Changing supplier / discarding
- Records: Delivery checks, QAQC
- Verification: Review of suppliers, review records

Justifications:
- Addition of ingredients to pasteurized mix constitutes a critical control point.
- There is no further lethal process is given to the product.
- Thus, important that all operations at this point to be done in a sanitary manner and that ingredients are free of pathogenic microorganisms.
- Most likely pathogens to be encountered at this point are Listeria mono-cytogenes and salmonella.
