8.1.6 Form. 2 Product ingredients and incoming material

List the product ingredients and incoming materials (including raw material, product ingredients, processing aids, and packaging materials) that are used during the manufacturing process. This exhaustive listing is required for proper identification of all potential hazards that could apply.

Flow diagram: - (will identify the important process steps)

• All ingredients and packaging used (biological, chemical, physical data)
• Sequence of all process operations (including raw material addition)
• Time/ temperature history of all raw materials and intermediate and final products, including the potential for delay.
• Flow conditions for liquids and solids
• Product cycle/rework loops
•  Equipment design features

Plant schematic:

This plan should aid in the identification of any areas of potential cross-contamination with in the establishment. The plant schematic/floor and equipment layout should be considered in detail and assessed. Data may include but is not restricted to:

• Personnel routes
• Routes of potential cross – contamination
• Area segregation
• Flow of ingredients and packaging materials
• Location of changing rooms, wash rooms, lunch rooms and hand-washing stations
