Principle 1: Hazard Analysis (HACCP Step 6)
Hazard: Biological, chemical or physical agent in, or condition of food with potential to cause adverse health effect
(Codex)
Hazard analysis requirements:
i. List ALL POTENTIAL hazards
ii. Identify SIGNIFICANT hazards
1. Hazards associated with raw material quality and handling practices
Biological: Pathogens (e.g., S. aureus, Salmonella sp., Listeria
sp.), biogenic amine producers (e.g., Pseudomonas sp.)
Chemical: Biogenic amines (e.g., histamine)
Physical: Stone
Chemicals in the smoke [e.g., Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs)]

Principle 3: Establish Validated Critical Limits
(HACCP Step 8)
Regulations
Limits: BaP = 2 µg/kg; PAH4 = 12
µg/kg
Principle 4: Monitoring CCPs (HACCP Step 9)
• Objective approach (Ideal): Determination of BaP and PAH4
concentrations
• Generally expensive for small-scale processors
• Laboratory capacity limitations
• Subjective:
Increasing PAH level
• Use of FAO-improved kiln per guidelines offer reasonable expectation that
contaminant levels would be within the limits (BaP 2 µ/kg; PAH4 12 µ/kg)
Principle 5: Corrective Actions (HACCP Step 10)
• Root cause analysis of the deviation (BaP and PAH4 > critical limits)
• Kiln operation
• Fuel type
• Duration of heat and smoke exposure
Principle 6: Validation s Verification (Step 11)
• Validation: Evidence that the control measure will work
Work = capable of controlling the significant hazard (PAHs)
• Verification: Evidence that the control measure is working
Principle 7: Documentation s Record-keeping
• Records for each step
• Generally challenging for artisanal processors
