Question

What is: conduct hazard analysis, determine CCP's, establish critical limits, establish monitoring procedures, identify correction action, verify that the systems work, establish procedures for record-keeping?

a. The 5 steps to HACCP
b. The 7 steps to HACCP
c. The 10 steps to HACCP
d. The 12 steps to HACCP

Answer 1

The steps listed correspond to the 7 steps of HACCP, a systematic approach to food safety developed by Pillsbury for NASA's astronaut program and widely used in the food industry.

Step-by-step explanation:

The steps listed in the question refer to the 7 steps of HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points), which is a systematic preventive approach to food safety. These steps are designed to prevent, eliminate, or reduce to acceptable levels the likelihood of food safety hazards. Here they are in full:

1. Conduct hazard analysis.
2. Determine Critical Control Points (CCPs).
3. Establish critical limits for each CCP.
4. Establish monitoring procedures for the CCPs.
5. Identify corrective actions.
6. Verify that the system works.
7. Establish procedures for record-keeping and documentation.

Developed by Pillsbury to ensure food safety for NASA astronauts, HACCP has been widely adopted in the food industry to minimize risks associated with food handling.
