The following Proposals identified the development of new FDA/NCIMS 2400 Forms or changes to FDA/NCIMS 2400 Forms and were not voted on as a block to be handled by FDA and the NCIMS Laboratory Committee following the procedures for issuing and updating FDA 2400 Forms: 228, 229 and 240. The following Proposals were passed and addressed changes to the inspection forms utilized in the Program and a new form introducing critical listing element for fermented high-acid milk and or milk products: 301 and JC-2 • FORM FDA 2359m-MILK PLANT, RECEIVING STATION OR TRANSFER STATION NCIMS HACCP SYSTEM AUDIT REPORT (10/13) Proposal 301 • FORM FDA 2359q-NCIMS ASEPTIC PROGRAM COMMITTEE-CRITICAL LISTING ELEMENTS Proposal JC-2 The following Proposals were passed and will be assigned to a Standing Committee, ad hoc Committee, Special Assignment Committee or the development of a Pilot Program: Joint Council (JC) Proposal-1: The Liaison Committee requests the Chair to assign this proposal to an NCIMS standing committee, special committee, or ad hoc committee as approved by the NCIMS Executive Board. The assigned committee is charged to work cooperatively with FDA to develop a pilot program which will establish a regulatory framework to find efficiencies in inspection activities for facilities that manufacture both Grade “A” and non-Grade “A” products and be implemented by FDA and the participating States. In developing the details of the inspectional model(s) to pilot, the assigned committee will, at least, consider: the regulatory authorities of state regulatory agencies, the eligibility criteria for pilot consideration, the types of non-Grade “A” products manufactured in dual-grade facilities, the resource needs and potential hurdles likely to be encountered, and the metrics for evaluating success. _____________________________________________________________________________ IMS-a-52 (Revised) 2 January 24, 2020 When implemented, the pilot program will meet the Agency’s commitment to the NCIMS of identifying additional ways to maximize state and federal resources and to create greater efficiencies through its obligations under the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act while maintaining the high safety of the U.S. milk supply. FDA shall inform and confer with the assigned committee to answer questions and address concerns to provide clarity and transparency at a frequency determined by the NCIMS Executive Board. A complete report of the pilot program will be shared at the 2021 Conference. In recognition that FDA is strongly committed to developing and implementing the dairy inspection pilot program and stands ready to work in a collaborative spirit on the framework for this pilot program immediately with the assigned committee, the Liaison Committee requests an effective date of the receipt and acceptance of FDA concurrence at the next NCIMS Executive Board meeting after the Conference. Proposal 112: The NCIMS Chairman shall assign to either a standing committee or an ad hoc committee, with input from affected stakeholders, the responsibility of reviewing the NCIMS role in regulating the repackaging of yogurt, sour cream, acidified sour cream and cultured milk and/or milk products and report to the 2021 NCIMS Conference. Note: This proposal was passed as amended as a substitute solution. Proposal 114: This proposal requests the NCIMS Chair assign an NCIMS standing committee, special committee, or ad hoc committee as approved by the NCIMS Executive Board to study the safety of water used in the dairy industry, including technologies to produce disinfected and/or Pasteurized Equivalent Water as prescribed in Section VII, Appendix D. and Appendix H. and report back to the 2021 NCIMS conference. Note: This proposal was passed as amended substitute solution. Proposal 212: This proposal directs the NCIMS Hauling Procedures Committee to conduct a comprehensive review of FDA Form 2399a and report back to the 2021 Conference. The following Proposals were passed and are of significance to the Grade “A” Milk Safety Program: Joint Council (JC) Proposal 2: Contains modifications to the PMO, Methods, Procedures, Bylaws and EML documents that address the regulation and rating of milk plants producing Grade “A” fermented high-acid, shelf-stable milk and/or milk products. These products are produced by fermentation using live and active cultures and then processed and packaged on equipment that is utilized to produce aseptic low-acid food products which have a Low Acid Canned Foods (LACF) filing as required by 21 CFR 113 or which are processed and packaged in accordance with all applicable provisions of the PMO to achieve shelf stability and then stored and distributed under normal non-refrigerated conditions. _____________________________________________________________________________ IMS-a-52 (Revised) 3 January 24, 2020 Proposal 118: This proposal incorporated Appendix Q. requirements for the operation of automatic milking installations (AMIs) into Section 7, STANDARDS FOR GRADE “A” RAW MILK FOR PASTEURIZATION, ULTRA-PASTEURIZATION, ASEPTIC PROCESSING AND PACKAGING OR RETORT PROCESSING AFTER PACKAGING. Revised Appendix Q. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR AMI COMPUTER SYSTEMS and incorporated the AMI computer control requirements into Appendix H. As a result, Appendix Q. requirements were deleted in its entirety. FDA responded in writing to the NCIMS Conference Chair on August 20, 2019 and met with the NCIMS Executive Board on October 23-24, 2019 concerning the Proposals passed during the 2019 Conference. Within FDA’s letter dated August 20, 2019, FDA concurred with all the passed Proposals except for Proposals 206, JC-1, 210, and 211. 206: FDA originally non-concurred with this Proposal because the Proposal is fundamentally flawed and cannot be fixed with minor editorial corrections. FDA understands this proposal was well-intentioned to resolve confusion created by inconsistencies between the FDA/NCIMS 2400 form and other conference documents. However, as written the text on page 29 and 30 can be interpreted to mean that all sampling procedures, including the use of approved in-line samplers and approved aseptic samplers for milk tank trucks or for farm bulk milk tanks and/or silos shall be in substantial compliance with FDA/NCIMS 2400 Forms. It would be further interpreted that if there was a discrepancy between SMEDP and the FDA/NCIMS 2400 Forms, the FDA/NCIMS Forms would have primacy in resolving issues related to sampling procedures, including the use of approved in-line samplers and approved aseptic samplers for milk tank trucks or for farm bulk milk tanks and/or silos. FDA/NCIMS 2400 Forms are specific to sample analysis and laboratory techniques, not sampling procedures. The PMO, Appendix B. and the SMEDP establish sampling procedure requirements. In addition, FDA Forms 2399 and 2399a are used when evaluating sampling procedures, not the FDA/NCIMS 2400 Forms. During the October 23-24, 2019 NCIMS Executive Board meeting, FDA and the Executive Board did not reach mutual concurrence with Proposal 206; therefore Proposal 206 in accordance with Section X-Application of Conference Agreements, A-Implementation of Changes 4, of the Procedures will be referred to the next Conference for discussion JC-1: FDA originally non-concurred with this Proposal because as written Appendix T. compliance would have to be determined once every thirty-six (36) months by a federal check rating or by a state rating.

  • UHT Milk and Milk Products
    Paper No. 7 Technology of Milk and Milk Products Module No. 4 UHT milk and milk products Introduction Aseptic processing and packaging (APP) is one of the two major commercial sterilization methods, also called ‘in-flow’ sterilization. The other commonly used method is ‘in-container’ sterilization, which generally refers to conventional canning processes. The term ‘commercial sterilization’ is defined as the absence of any microorganisms capable of reproducing in foods under non-refrigerated conditions of storage and distribution, instead of the absolute absence of every existing form of microbial life. The first aseptically processed milk in metal cans was developed in Denmark by Jonas Nielsen in 1913, almost 100 years after 1810, when Nicholas Appert discovered the canning process. Consumer-size aseptic packages were first developed in the 1960s in Europe for the milk industry by Tetra Pak. These days milk and some other food products are processed with UHT and aseptic processing in over 60 countries. The market share of UHT milk consumed varies considerably by country: Australia 9%, France 88%, Spain 83%, Germany 63%, Italy 55%, and the United Kingdom 5- 13%. Basis of UHT treatment Heat treatment in the production of long life products is called ‘sterilization’. In such processes, the treated product is exposed to such intense heat treatment that the relevant microorganisms and most of the enzymes are inactivated, and the processed product is given excellent keeping qualities and can be stored for several months under ambient conditions. UHT processing uses continuous flow of milk, which renders less chemical change in comparison to retort processing.

  • Uht Processing and Aseptic Filling of Dairy Foods
    UHT PROCESSING AND ASEPTIC FILLING OF DAIRY FOODS by DAVID L. SCOTT B.S., Kansas State University, 1994 A REPORT submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE Food Science Graduate Program College of Agriculture KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2008 Approved by: Major Professor Dr. Karen Schmidt Copyright DAVID L. SCOTT 2008 Abstract The demand for ultra high temperature processed and aseptically packaged dairy foods is growing throughout the U.S. The technology provides value-added food preservation for many foods including flavored milks, puddings, custards, creams, ice-cream mixes, whey-based drinks, sports drinks, and yogurt. Ultra high temperature nonfat milk, milk, light cream, and 18% cream are used throughout the U.S. by the restaurant and foodservice industries. There are several advantages to aseptic processing and packaging over traditional pasteurization. Advantages include extended shelf life, lower energy costs, and the elimination of required refrigeration during storage and distribution. Challenges are present in all aspects of dairy processing. Major challenges associated with ultra high temperature processing and aseptic packaging of dairy foods include product quality loss, such as age gelation, fat separation, and flavor loss, as well as manufacturing issues such as limited production capacity, potential contamination, slow packaging speeds, and limited shelf life knowledge. This report reviews the history of aseptic processing, principles of ultra high temperature processing,
