    satu produk makanan

  • PENGANTAR :FOOD BORNE DISEASEFaktor-faktor Utama FBD

    1. Pendinginan makanan yang tidak tepat2. Membiarkan makanan selama 12 jam (penyajian)3.Kontaminasi makanan mentah ke dalam makanan non-reheating4.Penanganan makanan oleh pekerja yang menderita infeksi 5. Proses pemasakan dan pemanasan tidak cukup6. Penyimpanan makanan dlm keadaan hangat < 65 C7. Pemanasan kembali makanan suhu tidak tepat8. Makanan berasal dari sumber yang tidak aman9. Terjadi kontaminasi silang.

  • PENGERTIAN Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP)Suatu system yang mengidentifikasi BAHAYA SPESIFIK yang mungkin timbul dan cara pencegahannya untuk mengendalikan bahaya tersebut.

  • Tujuan HACCP Umum Meningkatkan kesehatan masyarakat dengan cara mencegah atau mengurangi kasus keracunan dan penyakit melalui makanan (Food born disease). KhususMengevaluasi cara produksi mkn bahaya ?Memperbaiki cara produksi mkn critical processMemantau & mengevaluasi penanganan, pengolahan, sanitasi Meningkatkan inspeksi mandiri

  • Kegunaan HACCPMencegah penarikan makanan Meningkatkan jaminan Food SafetyPembenahan & pembersihan unit pengolahan (produksi)Mencegah kehilangan konsumen / menurunnya pasien Meningkatkan kepercayaan konsumen / pasien Mencegah pemborosan beaya

  • Example for Products DescriptionDescription of product

    Batter / breadered chicken portions are packaged into polyethylene bags and shipped in corrugated box, 15 bags per master box and 51 pieces per bag. Product shelf life is 90 days if kept < 0oF or < -18oC. After shipment to a distribution centre, the product is delivered to stores where it is kept frozen with temperature < 0oF or < -18oC until use. Nuggets are cooked by deep frying on palm oil at 360oF (182.2oC) for 4 minutes 15 seconds to reach internal temperature at least 165oF. It is served as Chicken McNuggets with special sauce and has a 30 minutes holding time.

  • Prinsip 2PENETAPAN CRITICAL CONTROL POINT (CCP)CCP titik, prosedur atau tahap operasional yang dapat dikendalikan untuk menghilangkan atau mengurangi kemungkinan terjadinya bahaya.

    Pengelompokan & Cara penetapan CCP - - CCP1 menghilangkan atau mencegah bahaya - CCP2 mengurangi bahaya (tdk dpt menghilangkan)

  • Prinsip 3 PENETAPAN BATAS / LIMIT KRITIS suatu nilai yang merupakan batas antara keadaan dapat diterima dan tidak dapat diterima, ditetapkan pada setiap CCP yang ditentukan --> like a sample KRITERIA BATAS / LIMIT KRITIS

  • Prinsip 5TINDAKAN KOREKSI

    Tingkat resikoTindakan koreksi / perbaikanMakanan beresiko tinggiMkn tdk boleh diproses/diolah sebelum semua penyimpangan dikoreksi / diperbaiki. Mkn ditahan / tdk didistribusikan dan diuji keamanannyaJika keamanan makanan tidak memenuhi syarat, perlu dilakukan tindakan koreksi yang tepat.Makanan beresiko sedangMakanan dapat diproses/diolah, tetapi penyimpangan harus dikoreksi dalam waktu singkatPemantauan khusus diperlukan sampai semua penyimpangan dikoreksiMakanan beresiko rendahMakanan dapat diolah (diteruskan), penyimpangan harus dikoreksi / diperbaiki jika waktu memungkinkan. Pengawasan rutin harus dilakukan untuk menjamin status resiko tidak berubah menjadi resiko sedang atau tinggi.

  • Prinsip 6VERIFIKASIPenetapan jadwal verifikasiPemeriksaan kembali rencana HACCPPemeriksaan catatan HACCPPemeriksaan penyimpangan CCP & prosedur perbaikannyaPengamatan visual selama produksi mengendalikan CCPPengambilan contoh / sampel dan analisa secara acakMembuat kesesuaian rencana HACCP

  • Prinsip 7DOKUMENTASI HACCPJudul dan tanggal pencatatanKeterangan makanan (keterangan khusus)Bahan dan peralatan yang digunakanProses pengolahan yang dilakukanCCP yang ditemukanBatas kritis yang ditetapkanPenyimpangan dari batas kritis yang terjadiTindakan koreksi / perbaikan Identifikasi tenaga operator peralatan khusus

  • Unlike contaminants, additives are put in food intentionally. When used properly, they protect food from spoilage and from pathogenic organisms, thus helping to ensure a plentiful and diverse food supply. At the same time, some may be hazardous if used excessively. Other food additives may be dangerous if too little is added to food. For example, nitrite is used to prevent C. botulinum spores from growing in cured meat products, but a minimum residual level is necessary to ensure its effectiveness. Insufficient iodine in salt can give rise to iodine deficiency disorders.Some food additives (e.g. sulphite) may provoke allergenic responses. People with metabolic deficiencies may react to certain additives as well as to the food. Accurate and complete food labelling helps these consumers to avoid products which could harm them. Adulterants are used to deceive the consumer as to the quality or value of the product. Sometimes, they are dangerous. For example, borax and boric acid were once widely used as low-cost food preservatives, but are now judged to be too toxic. In developing countries, however, they are still used illegally. Similarly, formaldehyde is sometimes used to preserve fish and other seafood, especially in places where adequate refrigeration is not available.The most common adulterant is water, which is added to foods such as milk, fruit juices and seafood. If the water is contaminated, it may harm the consumer.In some developing countries, the use of textile dyes in food, many of them carcinogenic, is a serious problem. Street-food vendors use them because they are cheap and readily available. Most consumers are unaware that these dyes are dangerous.

    Toxic contaminants, including potential carcinogens, can be produced during food processing. High levels of benzo[a]pyrene can be produced in food during charcoal grilling; heterocyclic amines and nitropyrenes are produced when meat and fish are exposed to high temperatures. Nitrosamines, which are known carcinogens, are produced during curing, frying and some salting and pickling processes. Ethyl carbamate can be produced during fermentation and is found in beer and distilled spirits, particularly Scotch whiskeys. Chloropropanols may result from the hydrolysis of proteins with hydrochloric acid. The food industry is gradually reducing the levels of these contaminants. Some countries prohibit traditional smoking processes; many manufacturers use a liquid smoke flavour that is free of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons.

    Few countries regulate the use of all chemicals (indirect food additives) that may leave residues in food, such as processing aids and cleaning agents. Chemicals can migrate from materials in contact with the food; for example, from packaging. In many countries, the specifications for food-grade plastics include limits on extractable materials.Contaminants may be transferred from cookware or containers. Cooking acidic food in a copper-lined pot can introduce copper into the food. Lead may be transferred to food from certain ceramics, and food in lead-solder cans has significantly higher lead levels than food in cans with welded seams. A variety of physical objects can be present in food; some may be hazardous. Some occur naturally; for example, bones in a fish. However, it is unacceptable for food to contain glass shards or metal fragments, which may cause broken teeth or serious injury if swallowed. The most common contamination is with glass in foods and drinks packaged in glass containers. "Slime or scum, also called "semi-solids", is another frequently reported problem.The problem of physical contamination of food eaten by children is of particular concern.
