Document Summary
A. 2. 3. 3 where required, ambient air, compressed air or gases utilized in processing equipment that contact product or packaging are appropriately sourced and treated to minimize contamination of product and packaging. Appropriate ventilation is important to prevent food contamination within food processing plants (cfia 2014). Appropriate ventilation can range from condensation droplets as well as aerosols in order to prevent contaminants that could potentially be harmful when present in food (cfia. Air contamination is especially harmful for food processing plants that contain aseptic as well ready-to-eat foods (cfia 2014). Other ways to prevent air contamination would be to use barriers such as filters and food grade gases (cfia 2014). This is very important in creating an effective haccp plan as it prevents airborne contamination from entering processing plants (cfia 2014). This thereby reduces the risk of food contamination that could potentially harm consumers (cfia 2014).
