Receiving Raw Materials CCPs
Raw Material Receiving and Quality Inspection
- Control Point: Ensure that all incoming raw food materials meet safety and quality standards (e.g., freshness, absence of contaminants).
- InterlinkIQ Feature: Supplier management module tracks incoming shipments, inspections, certifications, and testing results for key parameters (e.g., microbial levels, pesticide residues).
- Monitoring: Automated tracking of inspection data and test results through InterlinkIQ’s material verification system.
- Critical Limit: Raw materials must pass predefined quality and safety checks, managed through InterlinkIQ’s quality control module.
Verification of Supplier Certifications
- Control Point: Ensure that suppliers hold valid certifications (e.g., organic, GMP, HACCP) to guarantee the quality and safety of raw materials.
- InterlinkIQ Feature: Certification management module allows for tracking and verification of supplier certifications in real-time.
- Monitoring: Continuous monitoring of supplier compliance with automated alerts for expired certifications via InterlinkIQ.
- Critical Limit: All suppliers must have current and valid certifications documented in InterlinkIQ’s supplier management system.
Assessment of Delivery Conditions
- Control Point: Evaluate the conditions of incoming deliveries to prevent spoilage or contamination (e.g., temperature, packaging integrity).
- InterlinkIQ Feature: Delivery condition monitoring module tracks temperature, humidity, and packaging integrity during transportation.
- Monitoring: Continuous monitoring of delivery conditions with alerts for deviations through InterlinkIQ’s environmental control system.
- Critical Limit: Delivery conditions must meet specified safety criteria, managed through InterlinkIQ.
Sampling and Testing Procedures
- Control Point: Conduct sampling and testing of raw materials to assess quality and safety (e.g., microbial tests, chemical residues).
- InterlinkIQ Feature: Testing management module tracks sampling procedures, laboratory results, and testing schedules.
- Monitoring: Automated tracking of test results with real-time alerts for any deviations via InterlinkIQ’s product testing system.
- Critical Limit: Samples must pass all safety and quality tests, with results documented in InterlinkIQ’s testing module.
Traceability of Raw Materials
- Control Point: Ensure complete traceability of all incoming raw materials from supplier to storage.
- InterlinkIQ Feature: Traceability module tracks batch numbers, supplier details, and delivery information in real-time.
- Monitoring: Continuous logging of traceability data via InterlinkIQ’s system, ensuring quick access to information for recalls if necessary.
- Critical Limit: 100% traceability is required, with all relevant data captured in InterlinkIQ’s recall and traceability system.
Handling and Storage Procedures
- Control Point: Implement proper handling and storage procedures to prevent contamination and maintain the integrity of raw materials.
- InterlinkIQ Feature: Handling and storage module provides guidelines and monitoring for safe material handling and storage conditions.
- Monitoring: Continuous monitoring of storage conditions and handling practices, with alerts for any deviations via InterlinkIQ.
- Critical Limit: All handling and storage procedures must comply with safety standards, verified through InterlinkIQ’s system.
