History of HACCP � Developed for NASA � Presented in the 1950’s by Pillsbury Company Ltd, to the public in 1971
Why do we need HACCP ? �to produce safe food �reduce loss �create confidence in food safety �easier to meet regulations �increase patronage �better organized staff �less consumer complaints �less risk of illness �facilitate international trade �improved public health
HACCP & Pre-Requisite Programmes � An effective HACCP program must be supported by a foundation of pre-requisite programs � Without this support, the food safety system most likely will fail � Pre-requisite programs include GMPs, GAPs etc.
Hazards � Biological � Chemical � Physical
Hazard analysis involves: � Raw materials � Process conditions � Equipment � Product � Storage � Packaging � Distribution � Consumer use
What is a CCP? CCP - Point of unacceptable food safety risk
HACCP � Does not depend on end-product testing to assure food safety � Food safety is built into the production process and depends on process control to reduce or eliminate hazards � In USA, HACCP mandatory for poultry, meat, seafood and juice companies � Incorporated into CODEX hygiene guidelines and many other national standards � Should be compatible with the products sold, clients served and facilities & equipment used during production (it’s custom made)
The Seven Principles of HACCP 1 Conduct Hazard Analysis 2 Determine CCPs 3 Establish Target Levels and Critical Limits 4 Establish Monitoring Procedures 5 Establish Corrective Actions 6 Establish Verification 7 Establish Documentation
Preliminary Steps To HACCP � Assemble the HACCP team � Describe the product and its distribution � Describe the intended use and the user of the products � Develop the process flow diagram � Verify the process flow diagram
