Hi
Just a quick question
A coffee company that produces ground coffee, some of it infused with flavouring have the spraying of flavouring step in the process as a CCP. The coffee beans are roasted and then cooled and then ground and then infused with flavouring before being packaged.
I just wondered if folk this was correct? .. I understand that it is the last step with no further before packaging but wouldn't the cleaning methodology and verification for the equipment used for spraying be enough to ensure food safety? It is the only CCP and I'm leaning towards the roasting part of the process as needing to be more closely monitored too. The roasting is obviously done for quality purposes but could this in-fact also be considered a kill step?
Thank You!
