Structural requirements:

• The milk preparation room should be a defined environment with conditioned air (defined temperature and humidity). Only authorised staff should get access to the milk preparation room, so access has to be regulated. The staff has to be trained on hygiene rules on a regular basis. The traffic routes in the facility have to be defined to minimise the risk of cross-contamination. A one-directional flow from powdered formula to the prepared bottles or feeding containers is recommended and crossing traffic of waste, formula for disposal or equipment

for cleaning with prepared formula and sterilised equipment has to be avoided. The handling of fresh formula should be organised in a "white" area which is separated from the grey area used for the handling of bottles and equipment for cleaning.
