Combined approach of COOK CHILL with HACCP

Abstract

Purpose

Food service demands a greater concern with food security, as around two million people in the world, among them the majority of children, die from foodborne diseases. The purpose of this study deals with the adoption of the COOK CHILL system, in the principles of the hazard analysis and critical control point system (HACCP), within a food and nutrition unit of a petroleum refinery, to enable food security and cost reduction operational services in food services by using the traditional method of food production. To do so, hygienic-sanitary diagnosis based on Brazilian ANVISA standards is carried out.

Design/methodology/approach

The company that served as an object for the case study is an oil refinery located in the northeast region of Brazil, divided into 55 units with a production capacity of 323.000 barrels/day. For reasons of confidentiality, it will be referenced throughout the text of this work as Refinery.

Findings

With the implementation of the system, it was possible to reduce operational costs, food waste and energy and to provide safe food and increasing customer satisfaction.

Originality/value

The improvement achieved with the production of food quality was the adoption of the COOK CHILL system in the application of HACCP through the use of value (D) to control the biological CCP and monitoring through the control sheets.
