On Board Cooling (FDA Validated – Ice Slurry Method) Delivered at ≤55 o F with harvester’s time/temperature log and in processor’s refrigeration cooler no later than 3pm Dealer accepts if product is ≤55 o F At delivery if > 55 o F either reject or retag “For shucking only by a certified dealer” or “For post harvest processing only”

On Board Cooling (FDA Validated – Ice Slurry Method) Product must be placed in ice slurry within 1 hour of harvest time. In ice slurry for no longer than 20 minutes. Check temperature in middle of bag (out of ice slurry) and write down time it reached ≤55 o F. If using smaller bag should be within mins. Place bag in insulated ice box and packed at least 3 inches of ice surrounding the bag to maintain ≤55 o F.
