Editorial Note to Clauses 6 and 7 The definition of ‘temperature control’ in the Editorial Note made reference to 3.2.2, which made provision for maintenance of food at 60ºC.
The definition of temperature that contained reference to food at 60ºC was not appropriate for the seafood PPP standard and was removed in the redrafting of the Editorial Note. The new definition was included in Clause 2 of the standard.
8 Seafood packaging Comments from the SDC on this Clause as drafted for the Draft Assessment Report indicated that the words ‘no likelihood’ (in respect to prevention of contamination) could be problematic. It was suggested that words such as ‘all reasonable measures’ (to prevent contamination) might be more appropriate.
The Clause has been amended to remove the words ‘no likelihood’. The Clause now requires that businesses ‘take all reasonable measures to ensure that the seafood does not become contaminated’.
