Complete an RA  -

Create a list of food contact points, non-food contact points

Consider how hard machines are to clean?

Consider how often machines are cleaned?

Consider what chemicals are used? Contact times?

From this you can then determine frequency...

Consider historical issues?

Consider the types of paths/bacteria that are at risk?

Type of finished products - are there any other kill steps?

Customer requirements? Do you end customers require ATP or UKAS swabs on every run?

Consider allergen removal? Are you validating?

Consider -

Start up checks

Cleaning sign offs

Consider -

Chemical % checks

Chemical dosing checks

Temperature checks for hot water

Single use cleaning equipment?

Consider -

Aerosols from use of spray systems?

Fogging systems?

Consider -

Micro results from finished products/contact surfaces?

Consider -

Laundry - minimum annually..
