Overview
A beverage range can fall under several sets of U.S. rules at once. Depending on the product, juice HACCP (21 CFR Part 120), acidified foods (21 CFR Part 114), low-acid canned foods (21 CFR Part 113), the bottled water rules of 21 CFR 129 and 165, or the Grade A Pasteurized Milk Ordinance may apply alongside Part 117. Some products sit at the boundary with USDA, TTB or dietary supplement rules.
This system screens each product before any HACCP work starts. Applicability assessments cover Part 117, juice, acidified, low-acid canned, bottled water, dairy, FDA, USDA and TTB jurisdiction and exemptions, with a category classification matrix. Processing then gets real depth: HTST, hot-fill, UHT and aseptic, high pressure processing, UV, ozone and PEF each have their own programme, and water treatment procedures run from filtration and reverse osmosis to ice and steam.
Part 117 requirements are summarised in plain language with a verification column. The Pasteurized Milk Ordinance is referenced at its 2025 Revision, the NACMCF HACCP Principles and Application Guidelines at their 1997 edition, and FDA guidance sits under a clearly marked nonbinding callout. AGS is independent and is not affiliated with the FDA, USDA or TTB. Regulations are referenced by citation, and no regulation text is included.
What this system covers
- Regulatory applicability: product-by-product assessments across the U.S. frameworks and a beverage category classification and regulatory review matrix.
- Prerequisites and sanitation: prerequisite programmes, SSOPs, and CIP and COP.
- Water treatment: filtration, reverse osmosis, UV, ozone, chlorination, softening, carbon, deionisation, ice and steam.
- Formulation and process control: ingredients, formulation, pH, Brix, acidity, carbonation, mixing and homogenisation.
- Thermal and non-thermal processing: HTST, hot-fill, UHT and aseptic, HPP, UV, ozone and PEF.
- Filling to release: filling and container integrity, cold chain and release, labelling and claims, and shelf life.
- Hygiene and HACCP: environmental monitoring for Listeria and Salmonella, allergens, HACCP core, verification and validation, traceability including FSMA 204, recall, and food defence and fraud.
- Models and tools: product description and process flow models, illustrative food safety and juice HACCP plans, forms, checklists, training modules, an Excel workbook, an inspection readiness guide, a gap assessment, a compliance matrix and a reference library.
Who it's for
Beverage manufacturers and co-packers making soft drinks, waters, juices and smoothies, ready-to-drink tea and coffee, dairy and plant-based drinks, energy and protein drinks, powders, concentrates and syrups. Food safety team leaders, PCQIs, juice HACCP-trained individuals and staff who work with a process authority each have their part.
If your products are mainly juice, the U.S. Juice HACCP Management System (21 CFR 120) goes further on Part 120. For a Codex-based system, see the HACCP Beverages Management System.
