TRANSPORTATION in HACCP
TRANSPORTATION in HACCP
Clause 8.0
1 GENERAL
Food must be adequately protected during transport. The type of conveyances or containers required depends on the nature of the food and the conditions under which it has to be transported.
2 REQUIREMENTS
Where necessary, conveyances and bulk containers should be designed and constructed so that they:
• do not contaminate foods or packaging;
• can be effectively cleaned and, where necessary, disinfected;
• permit effective separation of different foods or foods from non-food items where necessary during transport;
• provide effective protection from contamination, including dust and fumes;
• can effectively maintain the temperature, humidity, atmosphere and other conditions necessary to protect food from harmful or undesirable microbial growth and deterioration likely to render it unsuitable for consumption; and
• allow any necessary temperature, humidity and other conditions to be checked.
3 USE AND MAINTENANCE
Conveyances and containers for transporting food should be kept in an appropriate state of cleanliness, repair and condition. Where the same conveyance or container is used for transporting different foods, or non-foods, effective cleaning and, where necessary, disinfection should take place between loads.
Where appropriate, particularly in bulk transport, containers and conveyances should be designated and marked for food use only and be used only for that purpose.
