2.2.3 Raw pork material and cooked ham/pork feedstock supplied to the site shall be transported on clean, well-maintained temperature-controlled vehicles that pose no risk of product contamination. Where it is relevant, the vehicle shall be temperature controlled.
2.2.4 Each consignment of raw pork material and cooked ham/pork feedstock shall be examined on arrival to ensure that it is compliant with specification, free from contamination and indications of spoilage. The BQAP assured status and traceability back to BMPA approved source shall be maintained.
Guidance
If incoming raw pork material or cooked ham/pork feedstock is not being received at the time of the audit, verification shall be sought by talking to key personnel to confirm the system for the transport of product. Verification of the cleanliness and temperature compliance may be taken by sampling/examining the most recent deliveries in the intake chill or associated areas.
Packaging shall be appropriate to the product being delivered. E.g. naked product delivered in dolavs/shrouded (liners). Vacuum packed product in boxes or containers. Cooked feedstock should be in fully sealed packaging/casings and not come into contact with raw pork material.
Evidence
Documented procedure. Visual inspection of the incoming material. Checks on the integrity of packaging. Examples of intake records.
