Introduction to Good Manufacturing Practices (CPOB) for Home Industry (IRT) Food Processing
📌 The session covers the background, legal basis, objectives, scope, and elements of CPOB-IRT (Cara Produksi Pangan Olahan yang Baik untuk Industri Rumah Tangga) and the supervision of food IRT.
🌍 Food safety is crucial, as hundreds of millions suffer from foodborne illnesses, and adequate, nutritious, and safe food is a universal right (WHO/FAO).
🛑 Unsafe food results from poor hygiene practices and contamination, which can be biological (e.g., fungi, bacteria), chemical (e.g., excessive additives, heavy metals), or physical (e.g., glass shards, pebbles).

Objectives and Scope of CPOB-IRT
🎯 The primary goal of CPOB-IRT is to establish basic food safety principles for home industry food producers to ensure safe, quality, and consumable products.
📋 CPOB-IRT serves as a guideline for local governments (Pemda) in assessing compliance for issuing SPP-IRT (Surat Izin Produksi Pangan Industri Rumah Tangga).
📊 Assessment criteria for compliance are categorized into four levels: Must (Kritis), Should (Serius), May (Meyer), and Can (Minor), based on the potential impact on food safety and quality.

14 Elements of CPOB-IRT Requirements
🏭 The implementation of CPOB-IRT is structured around 14 essential elements covering every aspect of food production in a home industry setting.
🗺️ Element 1 (Location & Environment) requires the production area to be clean, free from dust, smoke, and waste; trash bins must be covered, and drainage functional.
🏗️ Element 2 (Building & Facilities) mandates production rooms to be spacious, easily cleanable, constructed from durable, non-slip, waterproof materials for floors, and equipped with window/door screens to prevent insect entry.
🧪 Element 5 (Hygiene & Sanitation) stresses the availability of well-maintained washing facilities (including hot water if necessary) and adequate employee hygiene stations (hand washing, toilets) to prevent product contamination.
🧑‍⚕️ Element 6 (Employee Health & Hygiene) requires employees to be healthy, wear clean work attire, cover wounds with special bandages, and strictly avoid eating, drinking, smoking, sneezing, or spitting in production areas.

Process Control and Supervision
⚙️ Element 9 (Process Control) requires setting specifications for raw materials, establishing standard recipes/formulations, defining clear process flow diagrams, and ensuring packaging materials protect the product from contamination.
🏷️ Element 10 (Labeling) mandates that food labels meet specific regulatory requirements (e.g., PP No. 69/1999), including product name, ingredients list, net weight, producer address, production/expiry dates, and the PIRT registration number.
🔍 Post-Market Supervision is conducted by Food Inspectors (from local POM or relevant agencies) using standardized forms to assess compliance across the 14 elements.
📝 Element 13 (Record Keeping) requires documentation for all stages—from raw material receipt to distribution—to be stored for twice the product's shelf life and kept accurate and updated.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ Food Safety Definition: Safe food must be produced with good hygiene and be free from biological, chemical, or physical contaminants.
➡️ Actionable on Facility Maintenance: Ensure production surfaces that contact food are smooth, non-absorbent, and do not react with ingredients, detergents, or disinfectants.
➡️ Compliance Verification: Non-conformities found during inspection are categorized as Minor, Major, Serious, or Critical, directly influencing the operational status of the IRT permit.
➡️ Handling Non-Compliance: If a product is found to be hazardous, the owner must initiate product recall, stop production, report to the local government/POM, and destroy the dangerous product under regulatory supervision.
