Questions and Answers

What does HACCP stand for?

Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points

What are the seven principles of HACCP?

The seven principles of HACCP are: 1. Conduct hazard analysis 2. Identify critical control points 3. Establish critical limits 4. Monitor critical control points 5. Establish corrective actions 6. Verify procedures 7. Maintain proper documentation

Why does HACCP not rely on end product testing?

HACCP does not rely on end product testing because hazards may not be evenly distributed and can be missed in sampling. Testing large quantities would be required, and if hazards are found, the product would need to be destroyed or reworked.

What is the objective of HACCP?

<p>The objective of HACCP is to introduce the HACCP system and its definitions and terminology, as well as to identify hazards and install preventative measures to eliminate or reduce hazards in foods.</p> Signup and view all the answers

What is the benefit of applying HACCP in the food industry?

<p>The benefit of applying HACCP in the food industry is to come as close to 100% assurance as possible that food products would not be contaminated with pathogens.

What does HACCP stand for?

Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points. It's a food safety management system that helps prevent foodborne illnesses by identifying and controlling potential hazards at every stage of food production.

What are the seven principles of HACCP?

Conduct hazard analysis 2. Identify critical control points 3. Establish critical limits 4. Monitor critical control points 5. Establish corrective actions 6. Verify procedures 7. Maintain proper documentation. They are a framework for implementing the HACCP system and creating a safe food supply.

Why doesn't HACCP rely on end product testing?

It relies on preventing hazards in the first place, not just testing products after they're produced. This is because testing is unreliable and inefficient, and it can be too late to prevent contamination.

What is the objective of HACCP?

To create a food safety system that proactively minimizes hazards, rather than relying on testing finished products. It aims for near-perfect assurance that food is safe for consumption.
