Quality Control
For any business to be successful, you need to take care that the consumers are always content and that under no circumstances does your product cause them to have health problems.
In order to achieve this it is necessary to very carefully check each point of the production stage, starting from the moment you purchase the materials until the moment in which the product gets to the consumer.
One of the most fundamental aspects in fabrication and manipulation of food products is hygiene. We will be giving some advice and suggestions on this subject that may result useful.
The technical norms must also be taken into account in each production place. These rules will vary depending on the nature of the product, but there are some general criteria that must be considered and which we will mention as well.
Another one of the aspects we will look into corresponds to the problems that can arise in the elaboration of ice cream and yogurt such as improper viscosity, grainy ice cream etc.
Finally we suggest you design a very though over control plan in order to guarantee the total quality of the product in each stage of the process. A careful analysis of risk and control of critical points will help you to identify where danger can arise, so that the necessary measures can be taken.
You may want to consider getting a team formed by two or three people from a consulting institution whom can help to develop a diagram of the production process and identify possible sources of contamination and the critical control points.
