Process Flow
Receiving -> Cold storage -> Prep -> Cook -> Rapid cool -> Portion and seal -> Refrigerated storage -> Delivery.
Critical Control Points
| CCP | Critical Limit | Monitoring | Corrective Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cooking chicken | Internal temp reaches local required limit | Probe each batch | Continue cooking, recheck, document delay |
| Rapid cooling | Cool within approved time window | Cooling log at set intervals | Reheat and restart cooling or discard if limit missed |
| Refrigerated storage | At or below required cold holding limit | Fridge sensor plus shift check | Move product, service unit, assess exposure time |
Records
Receiving checklist, cooking log, cooling log, fridge log, sanitation sign-off, allergen matrix, training roster, corrective action log.
Tips for Best Results
- 💡Build logs that match the actual shift workflow; ignored paperwork will not protect anyone.
