HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) – Q’s &A’s (Graded A+)
HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) Right Ans - - the most
effective system to ensure *food safety*
- A methodical and systematic application of *science and technology* to plan,
control and document the *safe production* of foods
HACCP is a common sense approach based on... Right Ans - prevention
rather than inspection
Identify where and how (hazard analysis) a food safety problem may occur
in... Right Ans - ingredients, product, processing, storage, and shipment
*components to hazard analysis:* Right Ans - - Biological (major emphasis)
- Chemical
- Physical
we must prove that the product is _________ (critical control point - monitoring
and verification) Right Ans - *safe*
HACCP is Applicable from... Right Ans - *farm-to-fork*

electrical equipment (Bite-sized foods and edible coatings to hold foods,
Special packaging to minimize exposure of foods)
2) *Microbiological safety*: foods are free from pathogens, parasites and
biological toxins
U.S. Army Natick Laboratories: "Modes of Failure Concept" Right Ans - -
Predict *what might go wrong* (a hazard), how, when, and where
- *Select points* in the process (critical control points) - an increased
probability of a food safety problem if the process is out of control.
,The original HACCP system Right Ans - 1971 National Conference on *Food
Protection* in Denver: *HACCP was first presented* to an audience beyond
NASA
3 principles of the original HACCP system Right Ans - 1. *Identify and
assess hazards* potential hazards throughout growing, harvesting, and
processing
2. *Determine critical control points* (CCPs) to control any identified hazard
3. *Establish systems to monitor* all identified CCPs
Botulism Outbreak Right Ans - 1971 - A deadly outbreak of botulism linked
