Aseptic Processing for the Dairy Industry
Dairy processors that manufacture shelf-stable, thermally processed low-acid and acidified low-acid foods in hermetically sealed containers must comply with the requirements established by the FDA in Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Parts 108 and 113.
The regulations specify that all operators of aseptic processing and packaging systems, as well as container closure inspectors, must be under the operating supervision of trained supervisors who have satisfactorily completed the prescribed course of instruction.
