Overview

A soft drink is water that has been treated, sweetened and sealed, so the plant's food safety case rests largely on that water and on closure integrity. This guideline is built on the Codex General Principles of Food Hygiene (CXC 1-1969) with its HACCP annex, the Codex code for bottled and packaged drinking waters (CXC 48-2001) and the WHO Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality.

Carbonated and non-carbonated production are both covered, with premises, utilities and equipment ahead of the line and laboratory monitoring, calibration, shelf-life validation, traceability, recall and internal audit standing behind it. One editable reference document, annexing quick-reference parameters, process flow and zoning tables, an inspection checklist and a sanitation reference.

What it covers

  • Establishment approval, management responsibility and the food safety management system
  • Production water — quality, treatment, testing and storage
  • Sweeteners, acids, flavours, colours and additives, with supplier control and the syrup room
  • Bottle washing, filling, carbonation, closure integrity, labelling and distribution
  • Cleaning and sanitation against fixed minima, pest control, personnel hygiene and health, and allergen, glass, chemical and foreign-body control

Who it's for

Beverage plant owners, production and QA managers, food safety teams, HACCP consultants and the inspectors working across carbonated soft drink and bottled beverage manufacturing. A retailer audit, a new filling line or an inspection brings it in, and it leaves hygiene and process rules in a Codex-aligned structure the plant can adapt to its own equipment.
