We are repurposing an older building for use with a peanut drying and roasting facility. The Raw peanuts are salt-brined, then dried using a continuous dryer in a separate room(Room 1). Once dried, peanuts are conveyed into another room (Room 2)that houses the roaster. Peanuts will be roasted in this room and a thermal kill step will be achieved. My question has to do with whether we can pack out into super sacs our RTE peanuts in the same room that the roaster is located in or do the peanuts need to be conveyed into another room (possible room 3) for bag out and packaging?
Currently a process is in place to empty the roaster in raw only bins if the roaster malfunctions (room 2). After the RTE peanuts have been packed into supersacs, they are brought into a shipping room. (room 4). Once complete this facility would be SQF edition 9 module 2&11 audited.
