Q

What are the 7 Principles of HACCP?

A
  1. Conduct a hazard analysis
  2. Determine critical control points (CCP)
  3. Establish critical limits
  4. Establish monitoring procedures
  5. Establish corrective actions
  6. Establish verification procedures
  7. Establish record-keeping and documenting procedures

Q

HACCP Validation vs Verification

A

Validation: the scientific support/evidence for your CCPs/CLs (will the plan work?)
Verification: is the plan being followed?
