Study Notes
What is HACCP?
- HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) is a systematic approach to identifying, evaluating, and controlling hazards in food production.
- It is a preventive system that ensures the safety of food products.
Key Principles of HACCP
- Hazard Analysis: Identify potential hazards (biological, chemical, physical, or allergenic) in the food production process.
- Critical Control Points (CCPs): Identify points in the process where control is essential to prevent or eliminate hazards.
- Monitoring and Verification: Monitor CCPs and verify that they are under control.
- Corrective Action: Take corrective action when a CCP is not under control.
- Record Keeping: Maintain records of the HACCP system.
Steps in Developing a HACCP Plan
- Assemble a HACCP Team: A multidisciplinary team to develop and implement the HACCP plan.
- Describe the Product and Process: Identify the food product and its production process.
- Identify Intended Use: Identify the intended use of the product and the consumers.
- Conduct a Hazard Analysis: Identify potential hazards in the production process.
- Determine Critical Control Points (CCPs): Identify points in the process where control is essential to prevent or eliminate hazards.
- Establish Critical Limits: Establish critical limits for each CCP.
- Establish Monitoring and Verification Procedures: Establish procedures to monitor and verify CCPs.
- Establish Corrective Action Procedures: Establish procedures to take corrective action when a CCP is not under control.
- Establish Record Keeping Procedures: Establish procedures to maintain records of the HACCP system.
- Verify and Validate the HACCP Plan: Verify and validate the HACCP plan to ensure it is effective.
Benefits of HACCP
- Improved Food Safety: Reduces the risk of foodborne illnesses.
- Reduced Recalls: Reduces the risk of product recalls.
- Increased Efficiency: Improves production efficiency and reduces waste.
- Compliance: Meets regulatory requirements and industry standards.
- Enhanced Customer Confidence: Enhances customer confidence in the food product.
