Policy: The Company will develop and adhere to a set of prerequisite programs to control
food safety hazards within its scope of operations.
Purpose: To prevent or at least, minimize the likelihood of food safety hazards being
introduced through the work environment; to control biological, chemical, and
physical contamination of the product(s), including cross-contamination between
products; and to control food safety hazard levels in the product and product
processing environment.
Scope: This procedure applies to any Company function or department that may have an
impact directly or indirectly on food safety.
Responsibilities:
The Food Safety Team is responsible for developing the Company's prerequisite
program(s).
The Food Safety Team Leader (FSTL) is responsible for putting together a Food
Safety Team (or teams), ensuring PRPs are communicated to the appropriate
parties, and periodically reviewing PRPs.
Department employees are responsible for carrying out their duties in accordance
with the relevant PRP(s) and reporting on their PRP-related work.
Department Managers are responsible for assigning PRP-related duties, ensuring
that employees have adequate training to carry out their PRP work, and reviewing
PRP logs to identify deviations (nonconformities) and potential hazards.
Top Management is responsible for review and final approval of all PRPs.
Definitions: Cross-contamination The transfer of harmful bacteria from one food or food
ingredient to another by way of a nonfood surface, such as a cutting board,
countertop, utensils, or a preparers hands.
Food safety hazard Biological, chemical, or physical agent in food, or condition
of food, with the potential to cause an adverse health effect.
Hazard analysis The process of collecting and evaluating information on
hazards associated with the food under consideration to decide which are
significant and must be addressed in the HACCP plan.

Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) Provides workers and emergency personnel
with the proper procedure(s) for handling or working with a particular substance.
MSDS's include information such as physical data (melting point, boiling point,
flash point, etc.), toxicity, health effects, first aid, reactivity, storage, disposal,
protective equipment, and spill/leak procedures that are of particular use if a spill
or other accident occurs.
Operational prerequisite program (operational PRP) A PRP identified during a
hazard analysis as essential to controlling (a) the likelihood of introducing food
safety hazards to, (b) contamination of, or (c) proliferation of food safety hazards
in the product(s) or in the processing environment.
Prerequisite program (PRP) Basic conditions and activities necessary to
maintain a hygienic environment throughout the food supply chain which is
suitable for production, handling, and provision of safe end products and safe
food for human consumption. Examples of prerequisite programs include various
"good practices" within the food supply chain (e.g., Good Agricultural Practice,
Good Veterinary Practice, Good Storage Practice, Good Inventory Practice, Good
Manufacturing Practice, Good Sanitation Practice, etc.).
Procedure:
PREREQUISITE PROGRAM PLANNING
1.1 The Food Safety Team Leader (FSTL) shall establish a team of individuals
knowledgeable in the department/activity and specialists in the department/ activity in
question, at a minimum. This group shall be known as the Food Safety Team for that
department / activity.
The FSTL should consider consulting regulatory authorities and quality assurance
specialists, as needed, to expand the knowledge base of the Food Safety Team.
1.2 The Food Safety Team shall develop a prerequisite program (PRP) use FS1050-1
PREREQUISITE PROGRAM EXAMPLE as a guide and submit it to Top Management
for review and comments.
1.3 The Food Safety Team shall incorporate the management review and comments, revise
the PRP (if needed), and present the revised PRP to Top Management for final review
and approval.
1.4 On receiving final approval, the Food Safety Team Leader shall ensure the
departmental/activity PRP is communicated to department employees, who shall be
responsible for implementing it.

4.2 PRPs should be subjected to third-party audits at regular intervals even if such audits
are not legally required to verify that the PRPs are properly documented and
communicated to the appropriate parties, properly implemented, continue to meet
requirements, and are monitored and measured for the purpose of continual improvement.
Effectiveness Criteria:
PRP logs (see FS1050-5) are filled out completely every working day (or shift) and are
up-to-date.
Standard operating procedures (see FS1050-2) are followed and tasks are performed
according to schedule.
Timely review (and revision, if needed) of PRPs.

B. Statutory / Regulatory Requirements
While various food industry standards (such as ISO 22000) require prerequisite
programs, regulatory requirements for PRPs may vary according to locality. The
Company should be aware of and observe applicable laws governing food safety and
address all pertinent legal requirements within their PRPs.
Certain aspects of PRPs are regulated in every country and locality, to some extent. For
example, the U.S. Food Code specifies elements of PRP's such as cooking and storage
temperatures for many products. The Company is advised to maintain awareness of
food-safety-related legislation pertaining to its line(s) of business. This can be done by
seeking qualified legal advice. The Company can also maintain ongoing contact with
and actively participate in trade associations, industry councils, extension services, and
advisory boards.

SANITATION SOPs
Cleaning and sanitation procedures are described on Standard Operating Procedure forms
(see FS1050-2 EXAMPLE SOP FORM), which will include a list of chemicals used,
sanitation procedures and frequencies, and identify the person(s) responsible for carrying out
such procedures.
2. STORING CHEMICALS
All cleaning / sanitation chemicals are stored in well-ventilated areas and in their original
labeled containers.
If chemicals are temporarily placed in other than their original containers (i.e., dispensed
from a gallon jug into a half-liter spray bottle for ease of use), the other container must be
clearly labeled to prevent mixing of incompatible chemicals.
Chemical storage areas, indicated on the Storage Map (see FS1050-4 STORAGE MAP
EXAMPLE), are adequately separated from food preparation and food storage areas.
5. ROOM TEMPERATURE
If the air temperature in a production area exceeds 50F (10C) for more than four
consecutive hours, a mid-shift cleanup of the area is performed.
