CFR · 2024-01-01 · US · Title 9

(a) (2) A flow chart describing the steps of each process and product flow in the establishment shall be prepared, and the intended use or consumers of the finished product shall be identified. (3) Food safety hazards might be expected to arise from the following: (i) Natural toxins; (ii) Microbiological contamination; (iii) Chemical contamination; (iv) Pesticides; (v) Drug residues; (vi) Zoonotic diseases; (vii) Decomposition; (viii) Parasites; (ix) Unapproved use of direct or indirect food or color additives; and (x) Physical hazards. (b) (i) Slaughter—all species. (ii) Raw product—ground. (iii) Raw product—not ground. (iv) Thermally processed—commercially sterile. (v) Not heat treated—shelf stable. (vi) Heat treated—shelf stable. (vii) Fully cooked—not shelf stable. (viii) Heat treated but not fully cooked—not shelf stable. (ix) Product with secondary inhibitors—not shelf stable. (2) A single HACCP plan may encompass multiple products within a single processing category identified in this paragraph, if the food safety hazards, critical control points, critical limits, and procedures required to be identified and performed in paragraph (c) of this section are essentially the same, provided that any required features of the plan that are unique to a specific product are clearly delineated in the plan and are observed in practice. (3) HACCP plans for thermally processed/commercially sterile products do not have to address the food safety hazards associated with microbiologica
