8.2 Receiving ingredients: The first line of defense

Receiving is a critical control point (CCP) in the operation. The employee receiving goods must follow a clear checklist:

  1. Weigh and count: Does the quantity on the pallet match the delivery note and the original order?
  2. Quality assessment: Are the packages intact? Are there dents in canned goods or leakage from frozen items?
  3. Temperature: Chilled goods should be at 0–4°C and frozen goods below −18°C. If the temperature is incorrect on receipt, the goods must be rejected.
