Implementación de un plan de limpieza y desinfección conforme a la normativa food safety system certification 22000 Versión 6.0 en la línea de deshuesado de una planta procesadora de cerdos

Abstract

The project presents the design of a cleaning and disinfection plan in accordance with the FSSC 22000 Version 6.0 standard in a pig processing plant, specifically for the deboning line. The main purpose of implementing this plan is to ensure that surfaces that maintain direct and indirect contact with food maintain adequate hygienic conditions to prevent cross-contamination and the growth of pathogenic microorganisms. For the development of this project, the initial state of the cleaning and disinfection processes was evaluated by means of a checklist that included interviews with the staff. Once the context was defined, a plan was designed adjusted to the requirements of the standard and the verification of its effectiveness through visual inspections, microbiological analysis and rapid ATP tests. The results obtained from the on-site evaluations carried out showed an initial compliance of 57% in the diagnosis. After the design and implementation of the plan, there was an absence of Salmonella spp. and Listeria spp., as well as counts of Enterobacteria counts of 0 CFU/g on the surfaces tested, as well as in the air quality assessment. ATP tests remained within established limits, while the visual inspection showed slight deviations that required immediate corrective action. This proposal allowed for the establishment of a more efficient cleaning and disinfection system, directly contributing to strengthening the food safety management system and compliance with FSSC 22000 version 6.0 guidelines.
