Food Safety System Prerequisite Program PAS 223:2011 in Manufacture and Food Packaging- Establishments, Layout (workspace) and Utilities
Saturday, August 9, 2014
We discussed the Basic content in this article Food Safety System Prerequisite Program PAS 223:2011 in Manufacture and Food Packaging and now in much more detail from Establishments, Layout and worspace, and Utilities.
The prerequisites requirements discussed for Establishments includes guidelines about design, construction, location of establishment, maintenance, internal and external environment conditions maintained for the nature purpose of the food packaging manufacturing operations. It means hat all areas within the boundaries of organization shall protect the against any contamination.
Layout and workplace prerequisites includes internal design, layout, traffic patterns, internal structures including fittings, equipment, any temporary/mobile structures, storage of raw material, intermediate materials and finished product packaging.
Internal designs should be designed and constructed to support good hygiene and manufacturing practices. All movement pattern designed in way to protect from contamination all the times. External and internal opening should be handled/closed in a proper way to reduce any chances of contamination.
Storage used to store raw materials, intermediate materials, chemicals or finished food packaging shall provide protection from dust, condensation, drains, waste and other sources of contamination. All items should stored off the floor and sufficient distance from the walls.
Utilities gives details about the distribution routes around production ans storage to prevent contamination. Water (Ice or steam), Air quality and ventilation used in direct food packaging must have requirements and monitored accordingly. Room air supply shall be controlled to prevent microbial contamination. Ventilation systems to be designed and constructed to flow from clean to contaminated area, cleaning, filter changing and maintenance. Compressed air and other gases systems shall be constructed, maintained and monitored. The intensity of light shall be appropriate to the nature of operation.
