ATCP 65.68 ATCP 65.68 Pasteurizer testing.

ATCP 65.68(1) (1) General. The division shall test and seal pasteurization systems according to this section. Except as provided under sub. (6), no person may use any pasteurization system to pasteurize grade A or grade B dairy products unless that system bears the unbroken seals applied by the department under sub. (5).

ATCP 65.68(2) (2) Test procedure. The division shall test grade A and grade B pasteurization systems according to the procedure specified in Appendix I of the PMO.

ATCP 65.68 Note Note: PMO Appendix I is on file with the division and the legislative reference bureau. Copies may be obtained from the division at cost or online at http://www.fda.gov/Food/GuidanceRegulation/GuidanceDocumentsRegulatoryInformation/Milk.

ATCP 65.68(3) (3) Test frequency; grade A pasteurizers. The division shall test each grade A pasteurization system at the following times:

ATCP 65.68(3)(a) (a) Before the pasteurization system is first put into operation.

ATCP 65.68(3)(b) (b) At least once every 3 months, except that a holding time test may be conducted at least once every 6 months.

ATCP 65.68(3)(c) (c) Whenever a seal, under sub. (5), is broken.

ATCP 65.68(4) (4) Test frequency; grade B pasteurizers. The division shall test a grade B pasteurization system at the following times:

ATCP 65.68(4)(a) (a) Before the pasteurization system is first put into operation.

ATCP 65.68(4)(b) (b) At least once every 12 months.

ATCP 65.68(4)(c) (c) Whenever a seal, under sub. (5), is broken.

ATCP 65.68(5) (5) Department seals. When the division’s test confirms that a pasteurization system is operating correctly, the division shall apply seals that prevent any alteration of the system that would allow any unpasteurized milk or dairy product to flow through the system.

ATCP 65.68(6) (6) Broken seal.

ATCP 65.68(6)(a) (a) A dairy plant operator shall notify the division by telephone, electronic mail, or facsimile (FAX) transmission within 2 hours after the dairy plant operator breaks a seal applied by the division under sub. (5), or within 2 hours after a pasteurizing system malfunctions to the possible detriment of public health or safety. The dairy plant operator shall also notify the department in writing, on a form provided by the division, within 5 business days after the seal is broken or the system malfunctions.

ATCP 65.68(6)(b) (b) A dairy plant operator may not operate a pasteurizer after breaking a seal applied by the department under sub. (5), unless all of the following conditions are met:

ATCP 65.68(6)(b)1. 1. The dairy plant operator notifies the department under par. (a).

ATCP 65.68(6)(b)2. 2. The dairy plant operator determines and documents that pasteurization time and temperature requirements under s. ATCP 65.58 are met, and that the pasteurization system is repaired and functioning properly. Time and temperature records required by s. ATCP 65.66 shall be retained for at least 6 months.

ATCP 65.68(6)(b)3. 3. The dairy plant operator conducts phosphatase tests, under par. (d), if the pasteurizer is used to pasteurize milk without added flavors or ingredients other than vitamins. Phosphatase testing shall confirm that pasteurized milk without added flavors or ingredients other than vitamins contains less than 350 milli-units of detectable alkaline phosphatase per liter.
