What is the objective of the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP)?
to make product safely and be able to prove it
Who identifies the ingredients and processing areas that are sensitive and must be monitored to ensure a safe product?
Hazard Analysis (HA)
Who watches the point, step, or procedure at which control can be applied and a food safety hazard can be prevented, eliminated, or reduced to acceptable leveles/
Critical Control Point (CCP)
- Conduct HAs
- Identify CCP
- Establish Critical limits for each CCP
- Monitoring requirements for each CCP
- Corrective action if CCP deviation occurs
- Record Keeping
- Verification procedure
Are the 7 principles for
