The product is water; everything else is something the factory adds to it.
Overview
In a carbonated plant a hazard either arrives with the source water, comes in with the carbon dioxide, or is created in the syrup room. This one reference document for carbonated soft drink and soda water factories addresses each in turn, across 49 chapters and six annexes aligned with Codex CXC 48-2001 and CXS 227-2001, the WHO Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality and ISO 22000.
The establishment is defined first, with buildings, the seven sections, the six warehouses, utilities and carbon dioxide safety. The beverage chain follows, from source assessment through to laboratory verification, with annexed water and gas tables, an inspection checklist and a cleaning reference behind it.
What it covers
- Source water assessment, protection, treatment and disinfection, including disinfection by-products
- Carbon dioxide quality, the manufacture of the soda water, and carbon dioxide safety and security in the plant
- The basic syrup, additives, sweeteners and colours, and benzene formation
- Returnable bottles: washing regime, visual inspection and detection of contaminated containers
- Single-use bottles, cans and closures, packing and labelling, with cleaning, sanitation and cleaning-in-place
Who it's for
Soft drink and carbonated water bottlers, beverage plant engineers, QA managers, and the regulators who license, operate or audit beverage production facilities. The usual reason to buy is a plant licence renewal, a new returnable-bottle line, or a laboratory result on treated water that no written control regime explains. Afterwards the factory can point to a defined specification for its water, its gas and its syrup, and to the checks that hold each one.
