PRODUCT DESCRIPTION FOR GINGER
This product description highlights the different stages of production for dried split ginger produced by our company and also the procedures along each of the phases
Receiving
Receiving is the first stage of the flow chart and our CCP1 begins here. Farmers provide the dried split ginger for us. At this point, the moisture content is determined using a moisture meter instrument (moisture content < 10%), and the quality of the dried split ginger is also checked (i.e foreign materials in the products).
Temporary Storage (Holding) and Cleaning
The dried ginger is moved to a temporary storage, the temporary storage is made up of two warehouses, warehouse 5 and warehouse 6 where the dried ginger is prepared for further processing. The dried ginger bags are stacked on pallets in the warehouse. The company has a team made up of 50 people (40 women and 10 men). The workforce is responsible for cleaning each batch of the stored ginger. Impurities such as dirt, sand, stones, and rotting and defective ginger are removed from the batch.
All foreign materials are removed to maintain the quality and integrity of the products. At the end of this exercise, the ginger is bagged and prepared for permanent storage. The workers are provided with nose masks, hand sanitizers/ hand washing facility, and hairnets during the operation to enhance food safety and reduce hazards to workers. Workers are well trained on food safety guidelines. The facility is equipped with modern sanitation and toilet facilities, bathroom, and changing room.
Cleaning / Checking
After sample collection and testing, ginger that passed the lab test are brought out for cleaning. Before the permanent storage, the product is verified to meet the minimum grade required for admittance in the importing country. The checks are thorough, every form of mistakes is eliminated at this stage.
