A frozen product is only ever as sound as the last unbroken link in its cold chain.
Overview
A HACCP management system for frozen food processing, from IQF vegetables to frozen ready-to-cook items, aligned with Codex Alimentarius CXC 1-1969 (Rev. 2023). Its control structure mirrors the sector's real risk profile: CCP-1 metal detection, OPRP-1 blanching, and OPRP-2 freezing to a core temperature of -18°C or below, with the -18°C chain held unbroken from goods-in through cold storage and processing to dispatch.
Procedures run from supplier control and purchasing through receiving and incoming inspection, storage and cold chain, temperature control, processing and food handling, foreign body control and metal detection, allergen management, cleaning and sanitation, and maintenance and calibration, to traceability and recall. The records carry the evidence auditors ask to see: cold store and freezer temperature records, the Blanching Record (OPRP-1), the Freezing Record (OPRP-2), and Metal Detector CCP Monitoring (CCP-1). Guidance turns cold chain and metal detection monitoring into floor language, and the training runs from food safety fundamentals to frozen-sector risks, with trainer guidance and competency evaluation. Each document carries its code, version, effective date and revision history, so version control is in place before you start editing. Every critical limit is provisional until validated against your own process.
What this system covers
- Receiving and incoming inspection — product temperature on arrival and rejection criteria
- Frozen storage and cold chain — cold store and freezer temperature records through to dispatch
- Blanching (OPRP-1) — time, temperature and process monitoring
- Freezing (OPRP-2) — core temperature to -18°C and freezer performance
- Metal detection and foreign body control (CCP-1) — sensitivity checks and reject verification
- Allergen management, cross-contamination prevention, cleaning and sanitation
- Traceability and recall readiness, including mock recall exercises
- CCP verification, internal HACCP audit and management review
Who it's for
Frozen food processors, IQF fruit and vegetable packers and private-label frozen manufacturers preparing for a GFSI-benchmarked audit such as BRC or SQF, or for a retailer's own technical visit. This is the purchase made once a date is set and months of drafting are no longer available. What arrives is a structured, professionally written HACCP package to customise with your company details, product lines and validated limits.
