Packaging has no kill step; its hazard runs the other way, out of the material and into the food.
Overview
This HACCP system is written for manufacturers of food-contact packaging, a sector generic HACCP templates tend to skip entirely. In place of a pathogen kill step, the hazard analysis is anchored on chemical migration from the packaging into the food, controlled at CCP-1 drying and residual solvent and evidenced through a Migration Test Record and a Declaration of Compliance (DoC) Register — the paperwork food-contact legislation expects a manufacturer to hold. The framework follows Codex Alimentarius HACCP with GMP and GHP prerequisites.
The procedures read like a converting and printing plant rather than a food line: Migration and Food-Contact Compliance Control; Chemical Control for inks, solvents and adhesives; foreign body, glass and brittle material control tuned to converting and printing equipment; warehouse control; traceability; and product recall and withdrawal. Guidance sets out food-contact packaging safety and the migration and DoC route in plain terms, and training adds a packaging-specific food safety risks module. When a customer's compliance audit lands, the response is a HACCP plan and study, migration testing records, supplier declarations and CCP monitoring already in place, rather than a system assembled under pressure. Limits are issued provisionally and are settled by validation at your own site.
What this system covers
- Migration and food-contact compliance — testing regime and Declaration of Compliance evidence
- Drying and residual solvent (CCP-1) — monitoring, limits and corrective action
- Chemical control of inks, solvents and adhesives, including storage and segregation
- Foreign body, glass and brittle material control on converting and printing equipment
- Supplier approval, incoming inspection and warehouse control of substrates
- GMP hygiene, cleaning and sanitation, and pest control in a packaging plant
- Traceability, withdrawal and recall readiness across reels, batches and print runs
- Internal and pre-audit HACCP verification, management review and training
Who it's for
Producers of film, cartons, closures and containers destined for food contact, typically at the moment a food manufacturer's technical team asks for migration data and a Declaration of Compliance and the honest answer is a spreadsheet. The technical manager who buys it ends up able to put the hazard study, the migration testing record and the DoC register in front of an auditor as one controlled set.
