5‑16 Temperature controls for storing, handling, loading and transporting prescribed milk or milk products
Shelf‑stable milk or milk products (1) Shelf‑stable prescribed milk or milk products must be stored, handled, loaded and transported at the temperature required under the approved arrangement for operations to prepare the milk or milk products. (2) The approved arrangement for operations to prepare the milk or milk products must provide for measures to validate the effectiveness of the temperature controls in minimising the growth of pathogens that could adversely affect the fitness for human consumption of the milk or milk products. Prescribed milk or milk products other than shelf‑stable milk or milk products (3) Prescribed milk or milk products (other than shelf‑stable milk or milk products) must be stored, handled, loaded and transported at: (a) the temperatures required for chilling or freezing the milk or milk products under section 5‑15; or (b) if the approved arrangement for operations to prepare the milk or milk products provides for different temperatures for the storing, handling, loading and transporting of the milk or milk products—those temperatures. (4) If paragraph (3)(b) applies, the approved arrangement must provide for measures to validate the effectiveness of the temperature controls in minimising the growth of pathogens that could adversely affect the fitness for human consumption of the milk or milk products.
