Filled, sealed and processed container defects 1/ contd Category Defect Critical Major A Major B Minor Type I Products 6 Abrasion on the lid material within 1/16 inch of food product edge of seal such that barrier (e.g., foil) layer of the

36、 lid material is exposed. 7 Presence of entrapped matter within 1/16” of the food product edge of seal or entrapped moisture or vapor within 1/16” of the food product edge of seal that results in less than 1/16” of defect free seal width at the outside edge. 5/ 103 Closure seal width less than 1/8 i

37、nch. 6/ 205 Presence of any seal defect or anomaly (for example, entrapped moisture, gases, etc.) within 1/16 inch of food product edge of seal. 5/ Type II Products 8 Closure seal width less than 1/16 inch. 6/ 9 Presence of entrapped matter (e.g., crumbs, topping, etc.)within seal area that results

38、in less than 1/16 inch of continuous defect free seal width at any point perpendicular to the tray flange. 206 Closure seal width less than 1/8 inch. 6/ 1/ The following procedure may be used by inspection personnel to examine for filled, sealed and processed container defects on a consistent basis:

39、 1. Remove tape from one end of protective sleeve only. 2. Remove tray from open end of protective sleeve. 3. Observe interior of sleeve for signs of food product/wetness as this may indicate a potential defect. 4. Observe all sides of tray/lid for obvious leaks. 5. Set tray on flat surface, lid up

40、and observe for apparent swelling. As there is a maximum for allowable residual gas requirement, appearance of the lid should typically range from flush with the surface of the tray flanges to somewhat concave from applied vacuum. Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted

41、without license from IHS-,-,-MIL-PRF-32004B 86. With the tray still on a flat surface, press down on the lid with both hands (palms down) and apply a medium force (e.g., 30-40 Pounds). Listen and look for signs of air or food product leakage. 7. Examine lid surface for cuts, holes, leaks, abrasions,

42、 seal width, continuous seals, etc. Focus attention to where the lid body interfaces the seal area. If the lid material overhangs the tray flange at the outer edges, lift lid material slightly and examine where the underside of the lid contacts the tray flange. This area may be slightly wetted if a

43、non-continuous seal or other defect is present. 8. Hold tray with lid down and examine the tray body for holes, cuts, cracks, etc. or any areas where wet or dry food product is apparent. 9. Record any defects in accordance with Table II above. 10. Re-insert tray into sleeve and re-tape. 2/ Delaminat

44、ion defect classification: Critical - Evidence of outer ply delamination such that the adjacent ply in the lid body is exposed or evidence of multi ply delamination such that the food contact layer is exposed. Any evidence of outer ply delamination of the tray body or internal layer separation withi

45、n the tray body due to, (for example) poor adhesion between layers. Major B - Delamination of the outer ply in the lid seal area that can be propagated to expose the adjacent ply at the food product edge of the lid. The separated outer ply shall be grasped between thumb and forefinger and gently lif

46、ted toward the food product edge of the seal or if the separated area is too small to be held between thumb and forefinger, a number two stylus shall be inserted into the delaminated area and a gentle lifting force applied against the outer ply. If separation of the outer ply can be made to extend t

47、o the product edge of the seal with no discernible resistance to the gentle lifting, the delamination shall be scored as a Major B defect. Additionally, spot delamination of the outer ply in the body of the lid that can be propagated beyond its initial borders is also a Major B defect. To determine

48、if the delaminated area is a defect, use the following procedure: Mark the outside edges of the delaminated area using a bold permanent marking pen. Open the tray and remove the contents. Cut the lid on opposing sides of the delaminated area not closer than 3/16 inch from the delaminated area. Hold

49、the delaminated area between the thumb and forefinger of each hand with both thumbs and forefingers touching each other. The delaminated area shall then be rapidly flexed 10 times by rotating both hands in alternating clockwise-counter clockwise directions. After flexing, the separated outer ply shall be grasped between thumb and forefinger and gen
