1. Raw Honey Quality Checks

IPQC should verify the following parameters before filling:

• Colour and appearance are as per specification.
• Taste and odour are normal.
• No foreign particles or contamination present.
• Honey temperature is suitable for filling.

1. In-Process Quality Checks (During Production)

These checks should be performed at regular intervals (every 30 minutes or 1 hour).

• Net weight/fill volume of bottles.
• Cap fitment and sealing (torque check if required).
• Leakage test of filled bottles.
• Bottle condition (no cracks, dents, or damage).
• Label alignment and proper application.

• The production team should be informed immediately.
• If a major issue is observed, the material should be put on hold for investigation.

1. Documentation

IPQC must maintain proper records, such as:

• In-process inspection sheet
• Weight verification record
• Rejection report
• Line clearance checklist
• Batch Production Record (BPR)
