What is a HACCP Plan?
A Hazard Analysis Critical Control Plan is a written document detailing the food handling procedures to be implemented by a certain facility. The plan must conform to a set of seven basic principles outlined in the following pragraph.
|
|
| A plan must Conduct a Hazard Analysis to examine flow of food and determine where biological, chemical and physical hazards may occur. A plan must Determine the Critical Control Points, the last, controllable points of food flow are essential to the prevention/reduction of a food safety hazard, Establish Critical Limits to discover the minimum and maximum limits (e.g. time and temp.) a CCP must meet to prevent/reduce hazard, Establish Monitoring Procedures using proper tools that alert you to food safety problems or affirm critical limits are met. A plan must Establish Corrective Actions and have predetermined steps taken when a critical limit is violated, Establish Verification Procedures and confirm that the HACCP plan works: CCP's/limits are appropriate, monitoring/corrective actions are adequate, and Establish Record-Keeping & Documentation Procedures to document that food is handled and prepared safely. |
