The microbiological performance of a food safety management system in a food service operation was measured using a microbiological assessment scheme as a vertical sampling plan throughout the production process, from raw materials to final product. The assessment scheme can give insight into the microbiological contamination and the variability of a production process and pinpoint bottlenecks in the food safety management system. Three production processes were evaluated: a high-risk sandwich production process (involving raw meat preparation), a medium-risk hot meal production process (starting from undercooked raw materials), and a low-risk hot meal production process (reheating in a bag). Microbial quality parameters, hygiene indicators, and relevant pathogens (Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella, Bacillus cereus, and Escherichia coli O157) were in accordance with legal criteria and/or microbiological guidelines, suggesting that the food safety management system was effective. High levels of total aerobic bacteria (>3.9 log CFU/50 cm2) were noted occasionally on gloves of food handlers and on food contact surfaces, especially in high contamination areas (e.g., during handling of raw material, preparation room). Core control activities such as hand hygiene of personnel and cleaning and disinfection (especially in highly contaminated areas) were considered points of attention. The present sampling plan was used to produce an overall microbiological profile (snapshot) to validate the food safety management system in place.

Определены мероприятия по управлению для каждого этапа процесса производства функционального напитка, установлены причины появления опасного фактора и его виды (химические, биологические и физические), а также назначены ответственные лица за данные мероприятия. На заключительном этапе был составлен план ХАССП, в котором определены объекты контроля, мониторинга и предупреждающие действия. На основании проведенных исследований разработан комплект документации для системы менеджмента безопасности пищевой продукции на предприятии. Within the framework of industrial production, the solution of problems of ensuring the quality and safety of food products and conformity assessment has become a priority. One of the main documents in this direction is the Technical Regulation of the Customs Union 021/2011 «On food safety». GOST R ISO 22000-2019 was chosen for the development of a safety management system for the studied products. According to this standard, the analysis of the production process of functional beverages was carried out in order to guarantee the quality and safety of products. The characteristics of functional beverages are given, in particular, regulatory documents that include requirements for raw materials, organoleptic, physico-chemical, microbiological and safety indicators, including requirements for the storage of finished products. A flowchart of the production process of the studied products is compiled with an indication of the controlled processes and the identified critical control points by means of the expert method. The hazards that allow the manufacturer to systematize the knowledge of specialists required to determine an effective combination of control actions are considered. Management measures for each stage of the production process of a functional drink are determined, the causes of the appearance of a dangerous factor and its types (chemical, biological and physical) are established, and responsible persons for these measures are appointed. At the final stage, a HACCP plan was drawn up, which defines the objects of control, monitoring and preventive actions. Based on the conducted research, a set of documentation for the food safety management system at the enterprise has been developed.

Summary Nowadays, usage of sauces as part of a meal has seen a significant increase. In their diversity as raw materials and technology of production, sauces are a potential source of health problems. During their production, primary and secondary contamination with microorganisms and other physical or chemical contaminants is possible. Ineffective internal control is a prerequisite for the emergence of health problems among consumers. The subject of the study is а sauce manufacturer. An algorithm was designed to perform the audit and for the purposes of the. The prerequisite measures were placed in separate Good Hygiene Practices (GHP) and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) programs and in the technological documentation for all the sauces produced, with plans, procedures, orders, instructions, lists, registers and other documents, all closely related to the specifics of production. The technological documentation was found to be in agreement with the Food Safety Management System – the HACCP-plan. The technological documentation, which is part of the prerequisite measures, corresponded to its purpose and, with slight adjustments, is a good basis for the effective functioning of the Food Safety Management System. The conclusions contain specific recommendations for revision of the Internal Control System, including correction of elements of health and hygiene importance.

In order to achieve a certain level of food production, it is necessary to manage its quality and safety. Currently, the quality management system based on the principles of HACCP is widely recognized and is the only method for ensuring food security in all developed countries. The ultimate goal of this system is to eliminate or reduce any food safety risks by preventing them. During the research, the main, auxiliary raw materials and the finished product were identified; flowcharts for the production of an enriched whey drink were developed. On the basis of the developed block diagrams, an analysis of microbiological, chemical, physical and qualitative hazards was carried out, it was determined which of the hazardous factors are the most critical, can harm health and must be eliminated or reduced to acceptable levels. Based on the analysis of significant hazards using the Decision Tree algorithm, two critical control points (pasteurization and cooling) were established. Measures for the management of critical control points are established in the HACCP plan, which reflects all CCPs of the production process of the research object and actions for monitoring and managing them. The introduction of elements of a food safety management system into practice contributes to the production of safe products of appropriate quality in compliance with applicable requirements and standards.
