One critical control point, five operational prerequisites, and a product that stays safe because it stays dry.
Overview
A HACCP management system for roasted and ground coffee and processed tea, including flavoured and decaffeinated lines, structured on Codex Alimentarius CXC 1-1969 (Rev. 2023): the seven HACCP principles and twelve steps, with GMP and GHP prerequisites. The hazard analysis reflects how the sector actually behaves. Because low water activity, below 0.60, keeps the finished product inherently stable, the single critical control point is CCP-1 metal detection at grinding, and the remaining risk sits with operational prerequisite programmes.
Those programmes are documented in turn: intake screening for ochratoxin A, pesticides and moisture; de-stoning; roasting, covering ochratoxin A reduction alongside acrylamide and PAH control; sealing; and labelling. The manual layer sets out the methodology behind them — hazard analysis, prerequisite programmes, CCP determination, verification and validation, and traceability, withdrawal and recall — while the Coffee and Tea HACCP Plan and Study ties it to the process. Forms include CCP-1 metal detection monitoring, roasting and thermal process records, hazard analysis and CCP determination worksheets, and a mock recall record, each with a document code, revision history and approval fields.
What this system covers
- Metal detection at grinding, CCP-1 — monitoring, verification and corrective action
- Green coffee and tea intake screening — ochratoxin A, pesticides and moisture
- De-stoning and foreign body removal ahead of roast
- Roasting and thermal process control — ochratoxin A reduction with acrylamide and PAH control
- Sealing, packing and labelling, including flavoured and decaffeinated lines
- Storage, temperature and humidity control holding water activity below the stability threshold
- Hazard analysis and CCP determination worksheets, verification and internal audit
- Traceability, mock recall and product withdrawal
Who it's for
Written for coffee roasteries, green coffee processors and tea blending and packing operations, and usually picked up when a retailer questionnaire, a certification audit or a private-label contract requires a defensible HACCP system on paper. The technical lead gets an editable framework aligned to the current Codex revision, and spends the time validating roast profiles and detector performance rather than writing the plan. Critical limits are provisional and confirmed on site.
