would like to get some clarification on the EMP as per FSSC 22000 requirements.
1) if open air monitoring is conducted using plate agar at zone 2 area (area which is non product contact surface but adjacent to product contact surface), what type of microbial test recommended and if total plate count, yeast & mould, coliform and stap.aureus is recommended or pls share if any guideline available on type of test for open air monitoring?
2) bulk product loading line in open environment is consider as high risk area (zone 1) ? eg fatty acid & refined glycerine (FSSC certified product), with low moisture content and no medium that wil promote microbial growth if loading into tanker, then the loading line where the product pass through is consider as product contact surface within zone 1?
thank you.
