  1. Warm-Up • In your journal, write a minimum, 5 sentence paragraph that describes what you just watched in the video.

  2. HACCP & FOOD SAFETY Spring 2012

  3. What is HACCP? • HACCP is an acronym for : Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point • Scientific, rational, systematic approach for the identification, assessment and control of hazards • Used in all food processing facilities • Also used in other industries

  4. History of HACCP • Conceived by NASA , over 30 years ago • Worked with U.S. Army Laboratories & Pillsbury Company • Originally developed to focus on food safety hazards • Now a model not only to assess risks, but now used for risk control

  5. History of HACCP • Traditionally: • Spot checks on manufacturing conditions • Random sampling of final product • More reactive than preventative • Less efficient than new HACCP system

  6. Why use HACCP? • 2 goals: • Help prevent known hazards • Reduce the risks that they will occur at any point in the process • Execute 7 core actions

  7. Step 1 in HACCP • Conduct a Hazard Analysis • Identify all hazards and their control measures • 3 types: • Biological • Chemical • Physical

  8. Step 2 in HACCP • Determine the Critical Control Points • Points in food’s production- from raw until it gets to the consumer- at which the potential hazard can be controlled or eliminated • Examples: • Cooking • Cooling • Packaging • Metal detection

  9. Step 3 in HACCP • Establish Target Levels and Critical Limits • Examples: • Minimum times required to kill microorganisms • Maximum temperature to store finished product

  10. Step 4 in HACCP • Establish System(s) to monitor CCP’s • Determine: • How to check • Who will check • When will it be checked/ how often

  11. Step 5 in HACCP • Establish appropriate Corrective Action Plan for each CCP • What to do when a critical limit has not been met • Example: • Reprocessing or disposing of food if the minimum cooking temperature is not met

  12. Step 6 in HACCP • Establish Procedures to verify that the HACCP system is working effectively • Examples: • Testing time/temperature recording devices • Manually using a thermometer • Visual inspections

  13. Step 7 in HACCP • Establish Documentation concerning all procedures and keep Records of their application • Includes: • Records of all hazards and their control methods • Monitoring of safety requirements and action taken to correct potential problems • Initials!!!

  14. Barcoding = Record Keeping

  15. Advantages of HACCP • Focus on identifying and preventing hazards from contaminating foods • Based on sound science • Permits efficient and effective government oversight • Places responsibility for ensuring food safety appropriately on food manufacturer or distributor • Helps food companies compete more effectively in the world market

  16. Summary • Goal of proper processing and handling is to: • Keep microbial loads to a minimum to provide safe, high-quality food • Ensure food is free from chemical and physical contamination • Ensure that all potential problems are recognized and monitored as a prevention method before someone gets sick!
