  • METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR VALIDATING WASH PROCESSES AND PREVENTING PROCESS DEVIATIONS IN FOOD PROCESSING
    Publication number: 20230354870
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for validating wash processes and related operations for food processing, including preventing undesirable deviations in such food processing. One example method for validating a process for a food processing system generally includes: operating the food processing system on a food product according to the process, wherein the operating is performed for at least a validation period; measuring a process metric at multiple times during the validation period while the food processing system is operating according to the process, wherein the measuring generates a set of process metric measurements; and determining whether the process for the food processing system is valid, based on the set of process metric measurements.
    Type: Application
