  2. Identify the critical control points that are critical for the safety of the products

  4. Establish a system to monitor control of CCP
  5. Establish corrective actions to be taken when a CCP is not under control
  6. Establish procedures to verify that the HCCP system is working correctly
  7. Establish documentation for all processes and steps

History of milk pasteurization in the U.S

A

1850 & 1920-incidence
1863-Louis Pasteur developed pasteurization

1908-Chicago was the first major U.S city to require pasteurization of milk
1905 & 1914-Nathan Straus provided pasteurized milk at low cost to poor people
1914-NYC and Philadelphia required pasteurization of milk
1917-most major cities required that all milk be pasteurized

108

-ultrahigh-temperature milk can be stored at room temp for up to 90 days
-after the sealed container is opened, it should be treated like any other milk and refrigerated

A

Ultra-pasteurization or Ultrahigh temperature

109
Q

-milk should be stored at 3°c (38°f)
-this greatly reduces the multiplication of bacteria that lead to spoilage and of pathogenic bacteria

-emulsion with the fat globules in an aqueous phase
-when milk is left to stand, the fat rises to the top, forming a layer of cream

A

Milk

111
Q

-the diameter of fat globules is markedly decreased by passing the milk under pressure through a small hole.
