Summary

This code covers prepared vacuum-packaged or modified-atmosphere packaged foods that are designed to be produced, distributed and stored under controlled chilled temperature conditions. Its emphasis is on the potential risks associated with psychrotrophic Clostridium botulinum in these types of products and recommendations are given for good manufacturing practices to minimise such risks. The document also includes: a summary table to help identify high risk products; a list of key points for good manufacturing practice; summaries in each section of issues relating specifically to starting materials, manufacturing steps, packaging, distribution, storage and shelf life; appendices providing extensive supplementary information, from categorisation of vacuum-packaged or modified-atmosphere packaged products through hazard analysis, process validation and training, to legislation and other relevant codes of practice; a glossary of terms to assist the reader with any necessary technical terms.
