In general, the heat or other preservation treatments,that these products receive is not sufficient to ensure their commercial sterility. Refrigeration is an important,hurdle that retards food spoilage and growth of most pathogens. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer to,ensure that the product produced is safe throughout its shelf-life, taking into consideration the potential for,temperature abuse. This may warrant the use of hurdles to microbial growth in addition to refrigeration.,There are possibilities for temperature abuse during manufacture, storage, distribution, sale, and handling by,the consumer. These temperature abuses may allow the growth of pathogenic microorganisms unless,additional hurdles are built into the product to prevent potential microbial growth. Moreover, refrigeration,alone is not always sufficient to minimize microbiological risk, since some microorganisms are psychrotrophic,(grow at refrigeration temperatures), for example, certain strains of Listeria monocytogenes or certain strains,Clostridium botulinum, which can grow at temperatures of 4°C or lower. Therefore, in the absence of,additional hurdles, there is likelihood that some of these undesirable microorganisms will proliferate at,refrigeration temperatures.,There are other potential hazards associated with certain refrigerated foods. For example, with modified,atmosphere packaged (MAP) foods, the anaerobic environment limits growth of aerobic microorganisms which,compete with pathogenic microorganisms. Since these aerobic microorganisms are limited or do not grow in,MAP foods, certain pathogenic microorganisms may proliferate. Aerobic microorganisms are also often the,microorganisms that cause product spoilage. Because significant growth of aerobic microorganisms is,prevented, MAP products may become unsafe without any visible signs of spoilage if not appropriately,refrigerated or in the absence of additional hurdles.,Microbiological hazards can be controlled by a combination of inhibiting factors, called hurdles. These,hurdles can assist in retarding or preventing growth of some microorganisms, including pathogenic,microorganisms. Some of the hurdles in addition to refrigeration include: decreased pH and aw, and addition of,preservatives.,1 OBJECTIVES,The purpose of this code is to set out recommendations for processing, packaging, storage and distribution of,refrigerated packaged foods with extended shelf-life. Its aim is preventing the outgrowth of pathogenic,microorganisms and it is based on the principles of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP).,Section 5.1 of this code discusses the application of HACCP principles to refrigerated packaged foods with,extended shelf life. The HACCP approach is described in Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point,(HACCP) System and Guidelines for its Application (Annex to CAC/RCP 1-1969, Rev 3-1997). It should be,noted that HACCP is product, process and facility specific.,For refrigerated foods, an important safety hurdle to control microbial grow……
