Hazards and their management during dispatch from grain stores
Find out about the key hazards to consider during dispatch from grain stores. Discover how to prevent and monitor them – and the corrective actions required to bring the production process back under control.
An introduction to HACCP
HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) is a risk-based approach that identifies, evaluates and controls hazards significant for food and feed safety. Follow these seven principles to meet marketplace demands and expectations for safe food and feed.
Keep premises, equipment and transportation vehicles clean
Throughout the dispatch and transportation process, it is important that the premises, equipment and transportation vehicles remain as clean as possible. Grain residues in vehicles can be a source of stored product insects and mites. Therefore, take care to remove deposits of grain in the vehicle, as soon as possible after transportation.
