War II.
• Jointly developed by Pilsbury Company and the
NASA, to prevents astronauts from getting food
poisoning.
• Their goal was to produce 100% safe food.
6. The 7 Principles

2. Determine CCP
3. Establish CCP limits
4. Establish a monitoring system
5. Establish corrective actions
6. Verify that the system works
7. Establish procedures for record keeping and
