Food Assessment Tool (FAT 1. 0) Vinay Kumar V Nerella Akhil Kadiyala Dr. Ashok Kumar Department of Civil Engineering
Objectives Ø Create a pollution prevention tool to facilitate food processing facilities determine if they are in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Ø Develop a user friendly tool that can award an index/score to each section of the facility that helps in better understanding of the improvements that can be made in different avenues. Ø To help the food facility understand the degree of compliance achieved and know areas of concern. Ø Provide alternative approaches for completing the task energy efficiently.
Methodology Ø FAT 1. 0 is developed based on the knowledge obtained from literature. Ø The tool is developed based on simple YES/NO/Not Applicable questions. Ø Points are allotted to all questions that are related to standard practices and regulations. Ø Recommendations are provided wherever necessary to make the facility compliant with regulations.
Tool Development Ø FAT 1. 0 is developed to give a performance index to food processing facilities and provide suggestions on how to improve in certain areas of concern. Ø The tool developed consists of different sections for different areas of the facility. Ø Points are allotted to each question if they are compliant with the applicable laws and regulations. Ø Total scores in each section are summarized towards the end of each section so that areas that need immediate attention could be identified.
