For edibles processors facing dual scrutiny from food safety and cannabis auditors, integrating crystallization/overrun control with robust allergen management and sanitation SSOPs is now essential. This post details how to map Critical Control Points (CCPs) from pasteurization through fill and packaging, tying process parameters directly to shelf-life, safety, and compliance. Learn actionable strategies for overrun validation, allergen changeover verification, and effective recordkeeping with equipment like the Coldelite Advanced Gourmet Compacta VariO 12 Elite Batch Freezer. Includes practical tips, pitfalls to avoid, and a product plug for bundled Urth & Fyre solutions.

For most cannabis operators, the smartest move isn’t buying brand-new equipment — it’s investing in validated pre-owned systems that deliver the same performance at a fraction of the cost. This article explores the advantages of used equipment, the risks of buying without proper validation, and why having a trusted partner like Urth & Fyre is essential. Every piece of pre-owned equipment we sell is inspected, tested, and certified, ensuring no operator ends up with a lemon.
