Scope

Pistachio (Pistacia vera) and peanut (Arachis hypogaea) raw materials, maintained in separate dossiers.

Roles and prerequisites

Responsible pharmacist: approves implementation and release. Trained operator: performs and records work. Reviewer: verifies critical items. Specialist clinician/analytical partner: as specified.

Before implementation complete local document IDs, named roles, suitable equipment, specific specifications and acceptance criteria. Check the applicable framework in your country.

Procedure

  1. Qualify the specific source and material: species, nut fraction, processing, milling, defatting and additives. A trade name does not establish equivalence.

  2. Record lot, dates, conditions and possible other allergens. A roasting or supplier change is a critical change.

  3. Define with the analytical partner what the test measures: total protein, a specific allergen or another attribute. These quantities are not interchangeable.

  4. Assess method suitability for the matrix and processing. A nutrition panel or generic conversion factor does not establish this lot’s concentration.

  5. Set hygiene/microbiological and relevant contaminant specifications based on risk. Food-grade quality alone does not establish suitability for the intended therapeutic use.

  6. Release raw material only with reviewed evidence and complete linkage to finished batches. Retain a reference sample where the approved plan requires it.

Stop criterion

Unconfirmed species, unknown processing or insufficient critical protein data: quarantine.
