    Vanessa,

     

    What is a "HACCP accredited facility"?

    Who does the inspection and how does the documentation read?

    Does the FDA recognize it?

    I would like to have my facility accredited.

     

    Thank you

     

    Mark Freeman

    Howard:

    It was previously discussed that a clarification was needed in regard to
    storage or process being the issue.

    Apparently, you missed that email. I do not process, so my only concern
    is storage.

    For your edification, I direct a HACCP accredited facility; and do so
    very well.

    My educational background and work experience have prepared me to
    properly run our operation.

    Thank you for all of your tips; however they are presumptive and
    solicited by me.

    No need to reply.

    Regards,

    Vanessa,
    David is right. C.Bot does not come into effect in this process.
    Listeria is the only issue. In your clean down process, You should be
    using a Quaternary Sanitizer on all food contact surfaces, this inhibits
    the growth of L. Monocytogenes. You should have as part of your HACCP
    Plan, or in you SSOP a written procedure for Listeria reduction either
    by and approved additive to the smoking process or at the minimum, in
    your clean down.As far as your product in the cold smoke process, I
    understand that here are a few companies using a LACTIC Bacteria or a
    Strain of C. piscicola to inhibit the growth of Listeria in the vacuum
    package. This bacteria ( C. piscicola) drastically reduces L. m. in the
    package and does not effect the flavor profile.

    Thanks Vanessa, I should have clarified....

    C. bot is not an issue for storage as it is a frozen storage.

    The target pathogen for control would be L. monocytogenes.

    the challenge is created when cold smoking as temperatures do not reach
    a kill level for L.m.

    Looking to see what information folks may have on the control of Lm in
    cold smoked fish.

    thanks!!

    Was wondering if anyone would like to share with their experience with
    controlling Pathogens in Cold Smoked Salmon.

    Any input would be appreciated.
