Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for coding the skin of vegetables and fruit by means of a laser light beam. Such a device is generally known. Reference can be made to US005660747A.
  • the General Food Law makes it compulsory for the producers to mention dangerous and inappropriate foodstuffs.
  • the procedure for removing foodstuffs depends on the nature of the problem.
  • the approach to the dangerous foodstuffs has priorities different from the approach to inappropriate foodstuffs.
  • Dangerous foodstuffs are dangerous for health and are immediately removed from the market and the consumer is informed about this. Inappropriate foodstuffs are not appropriate for human consumption (for example, for decay or rotting reasons).
  • the ALV is part of the European approach for checking food safety. Such an approach was defined early 2000 in a white paper relating to food safety. The general principles and guidelines in the field of foodstuffs are valid as from 28th January 2002. The creation of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has also become a fact in the meantime. The compulsory traceability is the next step in concluding European food safety agreements.
  • EFSA European Food Safety Authority
  • a company producing (processing, etc.) foodstuffs or animal feed is and remains itself responsible for the safety of the products thereof. Companies themselves should check and decide whether their products meet the regulatory standards and are safe for human and animal consumption.
  • the VWA checks through a sampling method whether companies meet their duties.
  • the VWA is accordingly a checking body and not a certification body.
  • a company should decide itself whether a particular batch is unsafe. If the VWA notices that a company does not take its responsibilities, the VWA will take some measures.
  • Companies are to have an overview of the food safety hazards that a given production method encompasses. Such an analysis occurs based on the HACCP principle: an analyse aimed at establishing critical checking points. Companies should check such critical points carefully. This way, they reasonably guarantee safe products as far as known hazards are concerned.
  • there could however occur food safety problems for example, as a result of human mistakes or dosing mistakes or because a hazard was not yet known or recognized. In such a case, only a good traceability system could make it possible that consumers are not unnecessarily faced with unsafe products.
  • a HACCP system is not currently compulsory for animal feed producers and for farmers, horticultural producers and other companies in the primary sector.
  • a company should be able to supply, at any time, information regarding such a traceability system.
  • a company should be able, at any time, to prove from whom and to whom products are received or supplied. This is the following data:
  • the traceability system should make it possible for companies to hand in such data within four hours to the VWA.
  • the four hour time is valid per site.
  • it is relevant to notify, in so far as possible, relevant information about the product.
  • the traceability data should be stored for five years. Does the product contain a best-before date ? In such a case, the storage data is equivalent to the best- before date plus six months. A best-before date does not release a company from its responsibility to solve problems occurring after the best-before date. A company should consider the risks carefully when storing data for less than 5 years.
  • Such a traceability duty is applicable as early as the primary production, including the animal feed companies, up to the retailer himself. Or stated otherwise : from the animal feed company up to and including the supermarket.
  • Each link is responsible for tracing one step after and one step before.
  • An internal traceability means being able to link raw material coming into the company to products leaving again the company.
  • the internal traceability is not compulsory, but can considerably limit the extent of a crisis or a disaster and, thereby, also the extent of the removal operation.
  • a traceability analysis could be used. This is an analysis of times and actions that could be critical for being (remaining) able to trace foodstuffs and animal feed. Such actions could occur during the receiving step, the production process (processing), and the delivery of the final products. Think in such an instance of times of (possible) mixing upon the production process or residue processing or blending hazards during transportation.
  • the VWA does not specify any requirements to the extent of the batch to be removed. Companies should define the extent based on a traceability analysis that they should perform themselves. If a company cannot however show univocally to which products the food safety problem is limited, the VWA will consider every product from this company as unsafe.
  • waxes can be used, such as Shellac, Carnuaba Wax or mixtures thereof. Also, especially under moisty circumstances, these waxes prevent the bleeding or any natural link, such as blackberry juice, that could be added to the print to improve the contrast between the colour of the skin and the print.
  • the coating keeps the coloured printing readable.
  • the application of such a coating can be done by means of any suitable coating method, such as spraying, brushing, rod coating.
