Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points

1. H A C C P
Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points

2.  "Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points" system
 The simple but effective way to ensure food safety
 Systematic preventive approach to food safety and biological,
chemical, and physical hazards in production processes that can
cause the finished product to be unsafe
What is HACCP?

3.  Physical Hazards
 Biological Hazards
 Chemical Hazards
HACCP Addresses 3 Main Hazards

4. 1. Conduct a Hazard Analysis
2. Identify the Critical Control Points (CCPs)
3. Establish Critical Limits for CCPs
4. Establish CCP Monitoring Requirements
5. Establish Corrective Actions for CCP Deviations
6. Establish Procedures to Ensure HACCP is Working
7. Establish Record Keeping Procedures
Seven Principles to a HACCP Plan

5.  listing the steps in the process and identifying where
significant hazards are likely to occur
 focus on hazards that can be prevented, eliminated
or controlled by the HACCP plan
1: Conduct a Hazard Analysis

6.  A critical control point (CCP) is a point, step or
procedure at which control can be applied and a food
safety hazard can be prevented, eliminated or
reduced to acceptable levels.
2: Identify the Critical Control Points
(CCPs)

7.  A critical limit is the maximum or minimum value to
which a physical, biological, or chemical hazard must
be controlled at a critical control point to prevent,
eliminate, or reduce to an acceptable level.
3: Establish Critical Limits for CCPs

8.  Monitoring activities are necessary to ensure that the
process is under control at each critical control point.
4: Establish CCP Monitoring
Requirements

9.  Corrective actions are the procedures that are followed
when a deviation in a critical limit occurs.
 The HACCP team will identify the steps that will be taken
to prevent potentially hazardous food from entering the
food chain and the steps that are needed to correct the
process.
5: Establish Corrective Actions for
CCP Deviations

10.  Verification.
 The HACCP team may identify activities such as
auditing of CCP's, record review, prior shipment
review, instrument calibration and product testing as
part of the verification activities.
6: Establish Procedures to Ensure
HACCP is Working

11.  The HACCP regulation requires that the company
maintains certain documents, including its hazard
analysis and written HACCP plan, and records
documenting the monitoring of critical control points,
critical limits, verification activities, and the handling
of processing deviations.
7: Establish Record Keeping
Procedures
