OIV Guide to identify hazards and critical control points in the wine industry

1.      Introduction

Companies of the Wine Sector must plan, implement, operate, maintain and update a Wine Safety Management System (WSMS), in accordance with the principles of the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) of the Codex Alimentarius. Said WSMS consist of effective management procedures that vitivinicultural products are safe for consumers.

The implementation of a HACCP system in a winery must always be accompanied by compliance with:

a prerequisites program (PRP) containing all the elements that can ensure wine safety or make up the hygiene system in a winery (see Annex 1)

processes of grape production according to Good Agricultural and Viticultural Practices (GAVP) and the OIV criteria

the standards of the International Code of Oenological Practices of the OIV and of Codex Alimentarius.

The analysis of the hazards, based in the HACCP system, can allow the risk assessment and if they exist the determination of the Critical Control Points as well as the resulting actions. This enables the development of a Self-Control Plan that makes wine production safe for human consumption.

The WSMS has to be compatible and referable to the OIV rules, particularly the International Code of Oenological Practices. It has also to comply with the national legislation and the specific winemaking orientations and other standards of quality voluntarily agreed by cellar of the country of origin.

The implementation process of the WSMS will be adjusted to the reality and uniqueness of each winery. The WSMS must be implemented both for the wine-producing and wine trading companies.

Since implementation of HACCP-based procedures in primary production enterprises is quite problematic, the availability of a Guide to Good Agricultural and Viticulture Practices (GAVP) for vineyards can become the best tool for an adequate program of vine protection and the harvests' sanitary specifications as well as for the whole wine production process.

2.      Definitions

For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.

Control point: any step at which biological, chemical or physical hazards can be controlled.

Corrective action: action to take when the results of the monitoring of the CCPs (Critical Control Points) or oPRP (Operational Prerequisite Program) indicate loss in the control of the process or that a monitored parameter exceeds the pre-fixed critical limit.

Critical Control Point (CCP): step in the process at which control measurements are applied to prevent or reduce a significant wine safety hazard not to exceed a critical limit, and measures enable the application of corrections.

Critical limit: value that separates the acceptability from the unacceptability in a certain phase of a process. Critical limits are established to determine whether a CCP remains in control.  If a critical limit is exceeded or not met, the products affected are to be handled as potentially unsafe products.

Decision tree: logical sequence of questions and answers that allow to make an objective decision on a specific question.

Flow diagram: schematic and systematic representation of the sequence and interactions of steps in the production and commercialization process.

Good manufacturing practices (GMP): work practices in the wine industry, including the design of a product, the use of ingredients that meet the established standards, the observation of codes of hygiene practices in the transformation of the product and the adequate distribution systems that ensure that the product reaches the consumer in satisfactory conditions.

Gravity/Severity/Adverse effect: impact of the potential outcome of the hazard on a consumer’s health.

Hazard analysis: The process of collecting and evaluating information on hazards and conditions leading to their presence to decide which are significant for wine safety and therefore must be addressed in the HACCP plan.

Hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP) system: procedure that allows to identify, evaluate and control significant hazards for the wine chain of products.

HACCP plan: document prepared in accordance with the principles of the HACCP system, to ensure control of the hazards that are significant for wine safety.

Lot: defined quantity of a product produced and/or processed and/or packaged essentially under the same conditions. The lot is determined by parameters established beforehand by the organization and may be described by other terms, e.g. batch.

Operational Prerequisite Program (Operational PRP or oPRP): control measure or combination of control measures applied to prevent the occurrence of a significant wine safety hazard and for which an action criterion and a measure or observation allows effective control of the process and/or product. 

Prerequisite Program (PRP): basic conditions and activities that are necessary within the organization and throughout the wine chain to maintain wine safety. The PRPs needed depend on the segment of the wine chain in which the organization operates and the type of organization.

Preventive measure: any activity or action that has the purpose of preventing a wine safety hazard or that its critical limit is not exceeded.

Probability/Frequency/Likelihood: magnitude of possibility occurrence of the hazard in the product.

Risk: A function of the probability of the occurrence of an adverse health effect and the severity of that effect, consequential to presence hazard(s) in wine.

Step: A point, procedure, operation or stage in the wine chain including raw materials, from primary production to final consumption.

Traceability: the possibility of finding and following the track - through all the stages of production, transformation and distribution of a wine.

Wine chain: sequence of the stages in the production, processing, distribution, storage and handling of a wine and its ingredients, from primary production to consumption.

Wine safety: guarantee system that wine will not cause an adverse health effect for the consumer when it is prepared and/or consumed in accordance with its intended use.

Wine safety hazard / Hazard: biological, chemical or physical agent in wine with the potential to cause an adverse health effect.

Wine Safety Management (or control) system (WSMS): The combination of preventive control measures; traceability, recall and communication as preparedness and HACCP plan defining CCPs and/or oPRPs as control measures linked to the production process. The WSMS is also the combination of control measures, surveillance and assurance activities. The latter aims at providing evidence that control measures are working properly such as validation and verification, documentation and record keeping.

3.      Context and scope

This Guide is intended to harmonize the analyse of hazards and propose as orientative example the level of risk and the critical control points in relation to wine safety and hygiene pre-requisites that may occur during the steps of winemaking. This harmonization is convenient for OIV members and other countries and Institutions that have OIV as a reference,

At the organizational level, this document tries to highlight and solve a fundamental part of the WSMS. The Wine Sector of each country must apply it according its productive specificity.

And this Guide is open to the incorporation of new elements of risk when available scientific reasons or consumer protection makes it necessary.

Whereas Codex Alimentarius structures the HACCP system in 7 basic principles and 5 preliminary phases (see Annex 2), this Guide focuses on the determination of points 6 and 7, which correspond to Principle 1: "Hazard Analysis" and all Principle 2: "Determination of Critical Control Points (CCP)".

This Guide facilitates, according to the Codex Alimentarius, the determination of preventive measures, critical limits, monitoring systems, corrective measures and verification of the system, for each of CCP or oPRP found.

4.      Objective:

  • To raise awareness of the possible existence of hazards, risks and critical control points, as well as their control for production of safe vitivinicultural products for the health of consumers
  • To raise awareness of the producing companies and the Administrations of the implementation of the necessary measures to ensure, the wine safety including specific characteristics of the sector.
  • To provide the priorities of the OIV to elaborate the corresponding specific Codes that identifies the control actions for each of the CCP or oPRP.

5.      Implementation

5.1.      Determination of Potential Hazards and Risks in wine production

Potential hazards may occur in every winemaking steps. The presence of contaminants, excessive residues, undesirable derivatives of naturally occurring substances, materials and chemical compounds may compromise food safety of vitivinicultural products. The potentials hazards agreed at the moment, are listed in Table 1.

Once the hazards are identified, it is necessary to assess the risk associated with each one of them in the production context.  The assessment is done by the three-tier risk matrix for two factors: the gravity estimate and the probability of occurrence. The confluence of both factors gives the level of risk (significant or no significant) that exists (See the following figure).

5.2.      Appreciations levels:

The risk assessment is made using the qualitative method and sustains some uncertainties related at ranking of the probability of occurrence and gravity related with each hazard (Appreciation).

Gravity/Severity/Adverse effect

Appreciation

Criteria (*)

Low

There is minimal risk for the consumer related to wine safety (nature of hazard e.g. paper, soft plastic, large size foreign materials, chemical substances or microbes without health concern).

Moderate

No serious injuries and/or symptoms or only when exposed to an extremely high concentration during a long

period of time. A temporary but clear effect on health (e.g. small pieces).

High

A clear effect on health with short-term or long-term symptoms which results rarely in mortality (e.g. gastro-enteritis). The hazard has a long-term effect; the maximal dose is not known (e.g. dioxins, residues of pesticides, and mycotoxins). Fatalities by a control failure and high risk would be rare

Probability/Frequency/Likelihood 

Appreciation

Criteria (*)

Low

The probability that the hazard will occur in the final product available to consumer is very limited.  The control measures for the each hazard are of a general nature (PRPs) and these are related at PRPs;

Moderate

Failing or lacking of the specific control measure does not result in the systematic presence of the hazard in the end product but the hazard can be present in a certain percentage of the end product in the associated batch.

High

Failure or absence of the specific control measure will result in a systematic error, there is a high probability that the

hazard is present in all end products of the associated batch.

(*) Adaptation of Official Journal EU-2016/C, 278/01 (See Normative References).

Each country or organisation taken account their own process and historical data about one determinate hazard can modify the level of Appreciation of Probability and the consideration of Risk associated. The Table 1 can be taken like example or indication in the absence of elements for all hazards.

Mutualization and simplification

To simplify the task of operators with similar processes or to comply with the same regulations, sectoral organizations or competent administrations are encouraged to carry out work to pool risk analysis steps, to identify compounds for which specific measures must be taken, implemented and detail effective measures

5.3.      Determination of CRITICAL CONTROL POINTS (CCPs)

After implementing the control measures to limit the risk of each hazard, it must proceed to identification of CCPs. This was carried out by applying the decision tree of the Codex Alimentarius, modified by criteria of ISO 22000: 2018 (E). This allows us to know if the hazards are to be managed alone as oPRPs or these operational programs with defined measures are needed to manage the critical limits of CCPs. (See Annex 3)

In Table 2, are related, as example or indication in the absence of elements, how should it be treated one hazard with significant risk: as oPRP and the preventive measures to apply (PRPs) or CCP also possible to be managed by a preventive plan.

In many cases of risk significant implement suitably PRPs or modify the process or its conditions, without modifying the quality standards of product, is enough to avoid its treatment as CCP.

When determining whether the hazards are controlled by oPRP or CCP, it must be determined in turn what kind of preventive or corrective  measures have to be taken to eliminate the hazard or lead below the critical limit, as well as monitoring criteria, acceptability conditions, follow-up procedures, verification measures, responsibilities and record keeping, , according the guidelines for HACCP of Codex Alimentarius.
