What is HACCP?
‘HACCP’ stands for Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points, and is a food safety and risk assessment plan that was initially developed in the 1960s by NASA and a group of food safety specialists. These two groups came together to solve two critical problems facing NASA's crewed space missions: crumbs and disease-producing microorganisms (e.g. bacteria, viruses) or toxins.Today, HACCP principles form the basis of Food Safety Programs that are accepted worldwide. HACCP principles can be applied to processes throughout every stage of the food supply chain, including production, preparation, packaging and distribution, and are used to manage food safety across many different types of food businesses.
What are the 7 principles of HACCP?
HACCP outlines seven principles that are key to ensuring the safety of food. They are:
- Conduct a Hazard Analysis The initial process of identifying potential hazards that could occur in a food business
- Identify Critical Control Points A Critical Control Point (CCP) is a point in the food preparation process where hazards can be reduced, eliminated or prevented.
- Establish Critical Limits A critical limit is the maximum or minimum value to which a food safety hazard (biological, chemical or physical) must be controlled. Often critical limit guidelines are set by government regulators.
- Monitor Critical Control Points Monitoring each CCP is essential to make sure that hazards don’t go beyond the critical limits set. Generally, monitoring can be broken down into four different categories: observation, sensory, chemical and physical.
- Establish Corrective Actions If a hazard exceeds its critical limit, a corrective action must be taken. Corrective actions are either immediate or preventative.
- Establish Record Keeping Comprehensive and up-to-date records must be kept of any hazard along with details of any corrective actions. These records are kept together in a living document called a Food Safety Plan which forms part of a Food Safety Program.
- Establish Verification Procedures Verification procedures can help determine if your HACCP Food Safety Program actually works to prevent the hazards identified. It is important to perform an audit of your Food Safety Program at least once a year to ensure that everything is working.
