Is filtering a CCP in the production and packing of boxed wine?

Hi

I have a supplier who has sent me their HACCP study for the production and packing of wine (boxed) -  filtering is detailed as a processing step but not a CCP - surely this is a step specifically designed to reduce or eliminate a hazard and is therefore a CCP.

Any thoughts anyone?

Thanks

Perhaps for THEM, it is not regarded as they may have preventive controls in place that takes care of that hazard before reaching that process step, therefore the step not being a CCP. 

 

You may want to ask them directly about it.

Thanks

I have - just waiitng for a reply - I dont see anything on their plan that suggests that they do though

Wine filtration can be about visual quality rather than control of physical hazards, and also possibly for control of spoilage organisms (albeit sometimes as an unintended benefit). I'd also suggest talking to them to understand their process better.

hi, most certainly not unheard of.  We have a beverage company that boxes liquids and the filter is not a CCP using (as noted by the Food Sciencetist) there are steps already taken that make it a non-ccp.

I believe this would be covered by the section G "Foreign Material Control Program " in your prerequisites.

I worked in a regional brewery for close to 30 years and familiar with beverage HACCP plans.  Filtration was not a CCP.  It is a quality attribute, not a food safety attribute.
