Implementación de los procedimientos de análisis y control microbiológico, control de material extraño y defensa del empaque en la compañía ALICO S.A.S BIC.

Abstract

The product safety programs at Alico S.A.S have procedures whose implementation is essential to guarantee the quality of packaging, food safety and compliance with the legal requirements of good hygienic and manufacturing practices. Through the use of Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment (HARA) systems, we seek to prevent incidents in products by establishing preventive control measures directly in the process. This allows hazards to be reduced and/or eliminated, thus improving efficiency at the end of the production chain. During the months of August 2023 to January 2024, programs for microbiological analysis and control, control of foreign materials and packaging defense were implemented at Alico S.A.S. The objectives included establishing guidelines for the luminometry methodology, updating document management, strengthening the analysis of compliance indicators, inspecting production processes in search of areas for improvement, and establishing hazard analysis and evaluation. Of risk in the programs implemented to ensure their compliance with the intended use. Through periodic inspections of the processing plant, information was collected that allowed processes to be improved, including efficiency in taking microbiological samples, the detection of contaminating materials in productive areas, and the updating of procedures, formats and lessons learned.
