Like microbiological limits, chemical limits that rely on attribute sampling cannot provide high assurance that defects will be detected.
Ideally, continuous mentoring of CCPs for their associated chemical factors will provide the best associate of conformance to safety standards.
CCPs associated with chemicals factors may include : pesticide on incoming ingredients, preservatives (including acids), mycotoxin and cleaning agents/fumigants used in process areas.
In many of these instances the limits would be already determined.
The challenge is to identify a means to monitor that the limits are being observed on all incoming ingredients or outgoing finished products.
HACCP Chemicals Limits
Food safety can be defined as the “the avoidance of food borne pathogens, chemical toxicants and physical hazards, but also includes issues of nutrition, food quality and education.” The focus is on “microbial, chemical or physical hazards from substances than can cause adverse consequences.”
