HACCP
Food safety in the early twenty-first century is
an international challenge requiring close
cooperation between countries in agreeing
standards and in setting up transnational
surveillance systems.
WHY ???
The need for an effective food
safety assurance method
Reduction of Reduction of
costs More efficient
losses due to
of food analysis QA
product recall
system
Protection of reputation
Other Advantageous
Focuses on identifying and preventing
hazards from contaminating food, based on
sound science.
Permits more efficient and effective
government oversight, primarily because
record keeping allows investigators to see
how well a firm is complying with food safety
laws over a period, rather than how well it is
doing on any given day.
Helps food companies to compete more
effectively in the world market.
Reduces barriers to international trade.
Guidelines for the application
of HACCP system:
1. Assemble the HACCP team
2. Describe product
3. Identify intended use
4. Construct flow diagram
5. On-site verification of flow diagram
6. List all potential hazards, conduct a hazard analysis
and determine control measures
7. Determine CCPs
8. Establish critical limits for each CCP
9. Establish a monitoring system for each CCP
10. Establish corrective actions
11. Establish verification procedures
12. Establish record keeping and documentation
The 7 principles of HACCP
Source: CODEX
1. Assemble the HACCP
Team
A multi-disciplinary HACCP Team needs to
include knowledge of the following
aspects :
Raw Materials
Process
Finished product
Specialist (Quality
Hazard expertise
Assurance/technical)
Environment (premises,
Operation activities
property, surroundings)
Engineering/equipm
ent technical
knowledge of HACCP
2. Describe the product
Describe the product giving detail of its
composition, physical/chemical structure,
packaging, safety information, processing
treatments, storage and method of distribution:
Product Name
Composition
End Product Characteristics
Method of Preservation
Packaging Primary
Packaging Shipping
Storage Conditions
Distribution Method
Shelf Life
Special Labeling
Customer Preparation
3. Identify the intended use
Identify the intended use of the product,
its target consumer with reference to
sensitive population
Five sensitive groups in the population
Elderly
Infants
Pregnant
Sick; and
Immunocompromised
4. Construct a process flow
diagram
Details of all process activities including
inspections, transportation, storage and delays in
the process
Inputs into the process in terms of raw materials,
packaging, water and chemicals
Output from the process e.g. waste packaging,
raw materials, product-in-progress, rework and
rejected products.
5. On site verification of the
process flow diagram
It should be done by all members of the
HACCP team during all stages and hours of
operation.
