Sanitation Policy Statement
Oak
State Products maintains a policy to prepare, package and
hold, as necessary, in a clean, sanitary and contaminant
free environment all wholesome food products as requested
by our customers.
Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures
A Master Sanitation Schedule is maintained to specify the frequency, responsibility
and evaluation of routine maintenance cleaning and periodic deep cleaning
tasks. This procedure manual is used for training purposes, documentation
of task completion and as a reference manual for cleaning equipment/materials
used on various machines, building areas and outside grounds keeping.
Pre-operational inspection procedures are maintained to ensure proper sanitary condition prior to line start up. Pre-op checklists must be signed off by the Line Supervisor, Sanitation Supervisor or Manager and Quality Assurance Technician.
All areas of Sanitation/housekeeping from Scheduling, Pre-op inspections, chemical usage, monitoring and training are fully documented and kept on file. A third-party food safety auditing firm, usually American Institute of Baking (AIB), audits the facility at least annually.Chemical Control & Training
All cleaning materials and sanitizers are kosher certified and meet all applicable
regulations for their intended uses. Appropriate verification procedures
are maintained with periodic testing to ensure concentration levels are consistent
with product labeling. Sanitation employees receive documented training prior
to performing those activities. Any employees using chemicals are trained
in advance on their safe and intended use of those chemicals. Documented
refresher training is performed annually or as needed if chemicals change.
