HACCPHazard Analysis Critical Control

Points

• The HACCP goal is to prevent food safety problems from happening by identifying and controlling any possible Biological, Chemical, and/or Physical Hazards.

HACCP Principles

1. Analyze Hazards2. Identify Critical Control Points3. Establish Critical Limits4. Establish Monitoring Procedures5. Establish Corrective Action6. Establish Verification Procedures7. Establish Record–Keeping Procedures

• HACCP is a food safety program that focuses on FOOD and its flow throughout the school food service operation.

• School food safety inspections usually focus on personal hygiene and sanitation.

• Sanitation and hygiene now become a vital part of an effective food safety plan or Standard Operating Procedures-SOP.
