Do product specifications need to address non-safety issues such as filth and decomposition?
No, the product specification requirement is for safety only. Specifications such as water activity, pH, histamine content and pathogen limits, are examples of specifications that importers might set in their efforts to ensure product safety. It is important to note than an importer’s specifications are not necessarily the same as a processor’s HACCP critial limits.
