Conformidade estrutural: exigências legais para a infraestrutura física de laticínios

Abstract

In order for a dairy to receive registration and consequently the concession to produce dairy products, it must meet a series of standards and requirements established by regulatory bodies. Current legislation aims to regulate the safe production of food in the country. In Brazil, the document that sets out the provisions that companies producing food of animal origin must comply with is the RIISPOA. Among the criteria addressed and established by the legislation for dairy production is the physical and structural aspect of the processing plant's facilities. This paper discusses these parameters and the industrial layout of small to medium-sized dairies. It also proposes a simplified dairy layout model, showing its main sectors and the layout model for the main equipment used to produce pasteurized milk, fresh cream and rennet Cheese. The considerations presented, as well as the layout in question, have been drawn up with the aim of serving as a reference for future ideas, drawn up by professionals who work or wish to work on projects of this nature.
