Pasteurise, freeze, hold, serve: a HACCP system that keeps the temperature record unbroken from mix tank to display cabinet.
Overview
Ice cream and frozen desserts are governed by two things, what happens in the pasteuriser and whether the cold chain that follows is ever allowed to break. This system applies the Codex Alimentarius seven HACCP principles and twelve steps, supported by GMP and GHP prerequisite programmes, to exactly that problem, anchored by a HACCP plan written for ice cream and frozen dessert production.
Around the plan sit the controls this sector is audited on: cooking and pasteurisation temperature, freezer and refrigerator storage, cold and hot holding, and a dedicated water and ice safety procedure. Allergen management addresses the dairy, egg, tree nut and gluten cross-contact risks that come with inclusions, ripples and shared filling lines. Hazard analysis, CCP determination, verification and validation each have a documented methodology behind them, and the evidence trail runs from monitoring records through traceability and mock recall to a pre-audit checklist. Every time and temperature limit here is a starting figure, confirmed by validation on your own pasteuriser, freezers and holding equipment.
What this system covers
- Cooking and pasteurisation of the mix, with time and temperature monitoring and deviation handling
- Cold chain integrity across freezer, refrigerator and dry storage, and cold and hot holding
- Allergen control for dairy, egg, tree nut and gluten cross-contact on shared lines and inclusions
- Water and ice safety as a standing prerequisite programme
- Supplier approval, purchasing and receiving, including incoming inspection temperature
- Personal hygiene, cleaning and sanitation, pest control, chemical control and equipment condition
- CCP monitoring with a documented verification and validation framework behind it
- Traceability, mock recall and pre-audit review, supported by training and competence records
Who it's for
Ice cream parlours, frozen dessert manufacturers and soft-serve or novelty producers facing a HACCP-based food safety inspection, a customer audit or a first certification assessment. The system hands a quality lead a drafted framework to adapt to their own recipes and equipment, so that when an auditor asks to see the pasteurisation record for a named batch and the verification sitting behind it, both exist and point to each other.
