And Answers
What is the primary purpose of the hazard analysis (HA, principle 1 of HACCP)? to
*develop a list of hazards* which are of such significance that they are reasonably *likely to
cause injury or illness if not effectively controlled*
Who conducts the HA (for 1st principle of HACCP)? the *HACCP team* conducts a HA
& identifies appropriate control measures
Define *Critical Control Point* (HACCP principle 2) *a step at which control can be
applied & is essential to prevent/eliminate a food safety hazard or reduce it to an acceptable
level*
How are *CCPs* determined? by evaluating the potential hazards that are reasonably
likely to cause illness/injury in the absence of their control (identified through Principle 1/HA)
*4 major CCPs* 1) *Ingredient control & storage*
2) *Equipment sanitation*
3) *Personnel sanitation*

Activities related to the 4 major CCPs may incl. -Reviewing recipe procedures
-Observing employees while food handling
-Conducting a thermometer calibration demonstration
-Charting the time/temp of the cool down and/or reheating
What is a *Critical Limit* (CL)? *a max. and/or min. value to which* a biological,
chemical, or physical *parameter must be controlled at CCP to prevent, eliminate, or reduce to
an acceptable level* the occurrence of *a food safety hazard*
Short & sweet definition of a *Critical Limit* (CL) = a criterion which separates
*acceptability* from *unacceptability*
CL's may be derived from 1) *Regulatory standards & guidelines* (aka performance
standards)
2) *Scientific literature*
3) *Experimental results* (validation studies)
4) or *Experts*
