HACCP - Answers 3 questions
- what
- where
- how
Why we does not rely on end product testing ?
- Hazards not be evenly distributed and can be missed in sampling
- Need to test large quantities
- Product would need to be destroyed or reworked
components of HACCP
- Prerequisite programs
- Hazard analysis
Prerequisite programs include
- Premises
- Transportation and storage
- Equipment
- Personnel/training
- Sanitation and pest control
- Recall
- Allergen control
- Supplier quality assurance
recall system
- Product identification
- Locating product
- Returning product
suppler quality assurance
- Vendor approval process
- Product specifications
- Inspect incoming materials
why use HACCP?
- The management of product safety- The commercial implications of a potential major food incident
- Limitations of traditional Quality Control – Traditional reliance is placed on random sampling
- External pressures- Customers, Media, Legislation
Define control measure
- action or activity
- an be used to prevent or eliminate a food safety hazard or to reduce it to acceptable levels

- Quality Assurance/Technical
- Operations or Production
- Engineering
areas of expertise
- Production
- Shipping
- Sanitation
- Maintenance
- Sales
