Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
Low acid (high pH) foods or acid foods containing low acid
							 ingredients to an extent where a food poisoning hazard may exist when placed in
							 hermetically sealed containers, and which are not processed by steam under pressure
							 must be packed under the supervision of the Department of Public Health. This
							 includes several types or classes of food products, among which are the following:
							 vegetables in acidified brine or oil, vegetable juice cocktails, and various
							 formulated products.
California Code of Regulations › Title 17 - Public Health › Division 1 - State Department of Health Services › Chapter 5 - Sanitation (Environmental) › Subchapter 2 - Foods and Drugs › Group 1 - RULES AND REGULATIONS › Article 8 - CANNERY INSPECTION REGULATIONS › ACIDIFIED FOOD PRODUCTS PACKED IN HERMETICALLY SEALED CONTAINERS SUBJECT TO PH CONTROL › Section 12405 - Acid Requirements

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) All
						  products subject to Section
						  12400 found to have a pH greater than
						  4.6 will be restrained.
(b) The pH of
						  low-acid foods may be lowered by the addition of any edible organic food acid such
						  as citric or acetic. Allowance must be made for the fact that certain acids, such as
						  acetic, are quite volatile and rapidly lose their strength when heated in open
						  containers. The Department of Public Health must be consulted to determine the
						  strength and amount of acid to be used for each type of pack and the control
						  measures that are necessary.
NOTE: For illustration purposes only, the following
							 examples are cited: On the basis of 60 percent solids in a final acidified artichoke
							 pack, the following brines are found to furnish the required pH of less than
							 4.6:
(1) Unblanched, 0.6 percent citric
						  acid (80 ounces per 100 gallons)
(2)
						  Water blanched, 0.53 percent citric acid (71 ounces per 100 gallons)
(3) Acid blanched in a 1 percent citric acid
						  solution for six minutes, 0.24 percent citric acid (32 ounces per 100
						  gallons)

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a)
						  Samples of the acid blanching solutions and brining solution shall be collected, one
						  sample of each to be taken at the beginning of each day's run subsequently at about
						  two-hour intervals during the day. These samples are to be titrated daily by the
						  state cannery inspector.
(b) When the
						  blanching or brining solution is changed, or more acid added, the batch number must
						  be changed. A batch is understood to mean all material blanched at one time in a
						  given solution.

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
Some foods such as vegetable juice cocktails are made by
							 mixing portions of low acid vegetables with products possessing a safe level of
							 acidity, with a resulting potential food poisoning hazard. The control of acidity
							 for this type of product is based on the examination of the finished product, and is
							 determined directly as pH, which must be below 4.6. Samples of the finished product
							 are to be submitted to the laboratory as requested.
California Code of Regulations › Title 17 - Public Health › Division 1 - State Department of Health Services › Chapter 5 - Sanitation (Environmental) › Subchapter 2 - Foods and Drugs › Group 1 - RULES AND REGULATIONS › Article 8 - CANNERY INSPECTION REGULATIONS › ACIDIFIED FOOD PRODUCTS PACKED IN HERMETICALLY SEALED CONTAINERS SUBJECT TO PH CONTROL › Section 12420 - Formulated Products

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
By "formulated products" is meant the class of foods that
							 is compounded from a number of ingredients according to a definite formula, and
							 these ingredients when so compounded do not have a pH low enough to render them
							 commercially sterile when processed without steam under pressure. The control of
							 acidity for this type of product is based on the examination of the finished
							 product, and is determined directly as pH, which must be below 4.6. Samples of the
							 finished product are to be submitted to the laboratory as
							 requested.

All plants packing food products regulated under Sections
							 12415 and
							 12420 shall have and maintain in proper

							 for checking the initial temperatures should be shaken or stirred and the
							 temperature determined. This container should be representative of the coldest cans
							 in the retort load and should have an initial temperature equal to or greater than
							 the initial temperature specified under "Official Sterilization Process." "Initial
							 temperature" should not be confused with "closing temperature."
