Juice HACCP Program (FDA 21 CFR Part 120)

A complete juice HACCP program for juice processors, cold-press and HPP brands, cider mills and citrus packers. It is written to FDA 21 CFR Part 120. It includes 50 editable Word documents: a program manual, 17 procedures, 4 worked HACCP plans and 26 forms.

If you sell juice to another business, such as a grocery store, a café or a distributor, you are a juice processor under 21 CFR 120. You need sanitation controls, a written hazard analysis and a HACCP plan whose process achieves a 5-log reduction of the pertinent pathogen. Citrus processors who treat the fruit surface must also run E. coli verification testing under 120.25.

This program gives you each of those pieces:

• Juice HACCP Program Manual (HPM-JU): scope, HACCP policy and a section-by-section map of 21 CFR 120.6 to 120.25.

• 17 procedures, covering:

  • applicability and the retail exemption

  • hazard analysis and plan development

  • 5-log process selection and validation (pasteurization, HPP and UV)

  • citrus surface treatment and 120.25 testing

  • chemical and physical hazards: patulin, lead, arsenic, pesticides, allergens and glass

  • fruit receiving and culling

  • imported juice

  • monitoring, corrective actions and verification

  • the eight key sanitation conditions

Good to know

• Your 5-log process must be validated for your juice and your equipment. The procedures show what evidence to keep and when to involve a process authority.

• 21 CFR 120.13 requires a trained individual. Juice HACCP Alliance training meets this requirement.
