What Is HACCP And Why Do You Need It?

CLEVELAND - May 7, 2024 - PRLog -- HACCP is a methodical strategy for preventing foodborne illnesses by pinpointing potential hazards in the food chain. The aim is to monitor and control risks throughout the production and distribution process to guarantee food safety.

Who Needs HACCP?

HACCP started with NASA and Pillsbury for space food safety. Now, FDA and USDA require it for juice, meat, and seafood. Every food-handling business needs a compliance plan for safety. This includes:

• Restaurant
• Food manufacturing plants
• School cafeterias
• Nursing homes

What Are the Seven Key Principles of HAACP?

1. Conduct a hazard analysis for any biological, physical, or chemical hazard that can make food unsafe.
2. Identify critical points in the process where control can prevent hazards
3. Establish limits for these critical points.
4. Implement monitoring procedures at these points to collect relevant data.
5. Create corrective actions to be taken when monitoring identifies issues.
6. Establish verification procedures to make sure the plan is adequate and working as intended.
7. Create record-keeping procedures for the hazard analysis, HACCP plan, limits and
   monitoring activities, corrective actions, and verification processes.

Benefits of HACCP Compliance

One of the key areas in an HACCP plan requires documenting food temperatures at critical points and setting alarms for unsafe conditions. This helps you:

• Avoid product recalls due to spoilage or contamination with concurrent financial loss and reputational damage.
• Prove your best practices to auditors.
• Demonstrate your commitment to food safety.
