57
Q

Conduct a hazard analysis
Determine the critical control points (CCPs)
Establish a critical limit
Establish monitering procedures
Establish corrective actions
Establish verification procedures
Establish record-keeping and documentation procedures

58

Identify hazards

A

Biological
Chemical
Physical

59
Q

GRAS

Q

Determine CCPs

A

Determine which of the steps in your flow diagram were hazards can be prevented, eliminated, or reduced
For each step in the flow chart we identify if one of the hazaards defined is likely to occur

65
Q

Establish critical limits, CCP monitoring and corrective action

A

Establish Critical limits - at what point does something need to be done about the hazard?
CCP monitering - how will we monitor if that critical limit is reached?
Corrective actions - if we reach the critical limit what will our action be to resolve the problem

66
Q

Establish effective record keeping/Verification

Establish effictive recordkeeping - indicate what records will be kept to monitor the CCP, and who will record them
Establish procedures for verification - How will you verify that the records are being kept and monitering equipment is functioning properly?
