Microbial Tests for the Food Packaging Industry
Is it required to do Microbial test of compressed air and Mold cooling water in Food Packaging Manufacturing industry which is getting FSSC certification. If need to be tested then which standard method to be used ?
Ex. Containers manufactured by Blow molding technology used for packaging of food.
Containers manufactures by B&B process have temperature in the range of 590 - 600 degree centigrade. It gradually decreased in cooling lehr to room temperature which takes around 70 to 90 minutes depending on machine speed. So any issue related with compressed air & Mold cooling will be eliminated at such high temperature.
