FOOD SAFETY Flashcards
What are the 7 Principles of HACCP?
- Conduct a hazard analysis
- Determine critical control points (CCP)
- Establish critical limits
- Establish monitoring procedures
- Establish corrective actions
- Establish verification procedures
- Establish record-keeping and documenting procedures
What products are PR/HACCP required for?
- meat and poultry inspection (USDA)
- egg products (USDA - not shell eggs)
- juice (FDA)
- seafood (FDA)
- bonus: school cafeterias

Vibrio vulnificus
Vibrio parahaemolyticus
Common biological hazards associated with dairy
E. coli O157:H7
Listeria monocytogenes
Mycobacterium spp
I’m adding Salmonella and campylobacter, but maybe that’s my experience and not the answer to the test
HACCP Validation vs Verification
Validation: the scientific support/evidence for your CCPs/CLs (will the plan work?)
Verification: is the plan being followed?
What are the BIG 6 STECs (non O157)?
O26
O45
O103
O111
O121
O145
zero tolerance carcass contamination with…
contents from viscera or mammary glands
zero tolerance ground beef adulteration (biological agent)
STEC - O157:H7 and big 6
zero tolerance RTE product adulteration (biological agent)
LM, salmonella, O157:H7, plus any contact with LM-contaminated food surface
zero tolerance pathogen in cooked products
ANY
zero tolerance adulteration - allergens
any unlabelled allergen
pre-pasteurization bacteria limit: individual producer
<100,000/mL
pre-pasteurization bacteria limit: commingled milk
<300,000/mL
pre-pasteurization bacteria limit: SCC
<750,000/mL
what temp does raw milk have to be cooled to w/in what period of time
<=10C/50F within 4h of first milking
<=7C/45F within 2h of milking ending
Vat pasteurization time: 63C/145F
30 min
Vat pasteurization time: 72C/161F
15 seconds
Batch pasteurization: products used for and difference from vat
used for milk by-products like ice cream
milk is agitated during heating and holding periods
Batch pasteurization: temp and time
63C/145F for 30 min
HTST pasteurization: products used for
perishable beverages like fruit/veg juices, beer, kosher wine, some dairy
(maintains color and flavor best)
HTST pasteurization: temp and time
72C/161F for 15 seconds
UHT temp and time
138C/280F for 2 seconds
post-pasteurization cooling temp
<=7C/45F
