Do we need to include addictive/preservative on process flow chart  or HACCP plan

[kingstudruler1]

yes

 

If  you blend all of your ingredients together including additive / preservative, it could be included in that step. 

 

If you add them else where in the process it would need to be its own step.   

 

The risk of the additive / preservative needs to be evaluted and addressed as needed somewhere.

It will depend on how its being applied, and what other purpose the process might have.  

 

We have ingredients classified as an additive or preservative that are blended in with the seasoning, that step in the flow chart is just "Blending".  This step serves multiple purposes, so it has a general description.

 

Some other preservative ingredients are topically applied after the product is cooked, and shortly before packaging.  That is a separate step in the flow chart, and it serves only as an application of that one ingredient, so it is narrowly defined.
