Study Notes
Introduction to HACCP
- HACCP stands for Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points, focusing on identifying and controlling food safety hazards.
- Aims to prevent, reduce, or eliminate food safety issues through systematic analysis.
- Requires documentation and recordkeeping to maintain oversight and improve safety measures.
Origin and Evolution
- Developed in the 1960s for US military and NASA food safety.
- The Pillsbury Company, U.S. Army Laboratories, and NASA collaborated to ensure safe food for astronauts.
- The concept was formally applied after major food safety incidents in the early 1970s, including contaminated baby food and canned goods.
Important Terminology
- Hazard: Any biological, chemical, or physical agent in food that may cause adverse health effects.
- Acceptable Levels: Specific limits on the presence of contaminants deemed safe for consumption.
- Control: Refers to the management of food safety measures.
HACCP in Practice: Chicken Adobo
- Hazards include cross-contamination, improper cooking temperatures, and inadequate holding conditions.
- Critical Control Points include poultry fabrication, cooking, and holding before service, with specific temperature and safety protocols outlined.
- Corrective actions are set for monitoring failures, such as discarding contaminated food or reheating improperly held items.
Developing Food Safety Programs
- Multi-faceted approach that includes Safe Design, Prerequisite Programs, HACCP, and managing food safety culture.
- Safe design involves minimizing contamination in the product design and production process.
Prerequisite Programs (PRPs)
- Establish hygienic conditions necessary for effective HACCP implementation.
- Vary by organization, providing a foundational framework for food safety.
Food Fraud and Defense
- Food fraud involves intentional misrepresentation for profit, epitomized by incidents like the 2008 Chinese Milk Scandal.
- Food defense aims to prevent cases of food sabotage, ensuring public health safety.
Management Practices
- Involves accountability, training, and resource management to enhance food safety culture within organizations.
- Effective practices motivate employees to prioritize hygiene and adhere to safety protocols.
HACCP Principles
- Conduct a Hazard Analysis: Identify potential hazards and assess risk within each food production step.
- Identify Critical Control Points (CCPs): Establish points where control measures can prevent or minimize hazards.
- Principles also cover establishing critical limits, monitoring CCPs, and ensuring recordkeeping for audits and system verification.
Flow of Food in Commercial Kitchens
- The flow of food—from receiving to cooking—highlights critical points for potential hazards.
- Understanding this flow is crucial for implementing effective food safety measures and preventing foodborne illnesses.
