Hey all,
Looking at a customer right now that wants to store animal hides, not for human or animal consumption, before they are exported to the EU. I am working with APHIS to get the documentation in order but I am being told that hides are a messy business to get involved in and that it may adjust some of the controls that I have in place for food safety and allergens since they are salt-packed and/or dusty. I would have other retail food product stored in the same room kept at 0 degrees F. Anyone have experience with animal hides that can give me some info? I am not manufacturing. Only storing prior to export.
Cheers!
