Study Notes
Food Safety and Hygiene - HACCP
- HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) is a systematic preventive approach to food safety.
- It addresses biological, chemical, and physical hazards in production processes.
- HACCP aims to prevent unsafe finished products, reducing risks to a safe level.
- The HACCP system can be applied throughout the entire food chain.
- This includes food production, preparation, packaging, and distribution.
HACCP Benefits
- Reduced public health risks from foodborne illnesses.
- Lower labor costs from optimized resource use, avoiding duplication.
- Fewer customer complaints due to improved overall food quality.
Seven Principles of HACCP
- Hazard Analysis: Determine food safety hazards and preventive measures.
- Critical Control Points (CCPs): Identify points where control for hazards can be applied (steps, procedures).
- Critical Limits: These are the maximum and/or minimum values for biological, chemical, or physical hazards at each CCP.
- Monitoring CCPs: Establish procedures to monitor how measurements are taken, when, by whom, and how frequently during production.
- Corrective Action: Procedures for deviations (in critical limits) to prevent hazardous food from entering the food chain. This includes identifying issues and correcting the process.
- Verification Procedures: Activities (not monitoring) that evaluate the HACCP plan's validity and ensure the system operates according to the plan as intended.
- Record Keeping: Detailed records for the whole HACCP plan, including the team, product description, flow diagrams, hazard analysis, CCPs, critical limits, monitoring system, corrective actions, recordkeeping procedures, and verification procedures.
HACCP Terms
- Corrective Action: Procedures taken when a deviation in a critical limit occurs.
- Critical Control Point (CCP): A step at which control can be applied to prevent, eliminate, or reduce a food safety hazard.
- Critical Limit: Maximum and/or minimum value for a hazard at a CCP.
- Monitoring: Conducting observations or measurements in a planned sequence, to assess whether a CCP is under control. This ensures accurate records for future verification.
- Hazard Analysis: The process of identifying and analyzing potential hazards associated with a food to determine significant hazards to address in the HACCP plan.
