Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP)

 


HACCP is a science-based and systematic approach to food safety that focuses on preventing, eliminating, and minimizing hazards. It's a proactive system that identifies potential hazards within a food production process and establishes controls to keep food safe.

The Seven Principles of HACCP

  1. Conduct a Hazard Analysis: Identify biological, chemical, and physical hazards that could occur at each step of the food production process.
  2. Determine Critical Control Points (CCPs): Identify the steps in the process where a hazard can be controlled or eliminated.
  3. Establish Critical Limits: Set specific parameters for each CCP to ensure safety.
  4. Establish Monitoring Procedures: Implement procedures to monitor CCPs and ensure they stay within critical limits.
  5. Establish Corrective Actions: Define actions to take if a CCP deviates from critical limits.
  6. Establish Verification Procedures: Verify that the HACCP system is working effectively through regular checks and audits.
  7. Establish Record-Keeping Procedures: Maintain records of all HACCP activities, including monitoring data, corrective actions, and verification results.

Why HACCP is Important

  • Prevention Focus: HACCP emphasizes preventing food safety problems rather than relying on end-product testing.
  • Systematic Approach: It provides a structured framework for identifying and controlling hazards.
  • Consumer Protection: HACCP helps ensure that food products are safe for consumption.
  • Industry Standards: Many food industries and regulatory agencies require HACCP implementation.
