Pathogen Reduction/Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Points System PR/ HACCP Final Rule (9 CFR Chapter III) July 1996
HACCP SYSTEM REGULATION FOOD SAFETY HAZARD (Unsafe for Human Consumption) • Biological • Chemical (Agricultural Chemicals /Drugs) • Physical
Determination of Food Safety Hazard • Possibility of a Hazard • History of a Hazard
HACCP Plan Critical Control Points . • Points • Steps • Procedure Prevent/ Eliminate/ Reduce
Chemical Residues in FSIS Regulated Product • Drugs (veterinary, illegal) • Pesticides • Agricultural Chemicals
Challenges • Adulteration • Organoleptic Examination • Farm-To-Table Strategy
Residue Avoidance Activity • Animal and Egg Production Food Safety (AEPFS) Staff • State • Producer Groups • Universities • Industrial Organizations • Consumer Group
PR/HACCP Preamble • Overall Food Safety Strategy • Regulatory Reform • Flexibility and Encourage Industry Involvement • Farm-To-Table Approach
Food Safety Problem • Farm -To-Table Continuum • Hazard at Production, Distribution or Consumption
Approach & Concerns in Residue Control • Rethinking in a HACCP environment • Sample for certain chemicals in certain establishment • FSIS to verify
Residue Control in HACCP Environment FOLLOW NAS GUIDELINE • Frame work for control of chemical hazard • Consideration of management of chemical hazard HACCP
Public Health Protection 1. Primary Concern Risk Analysis
Public Health Prevention 2. Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP) is a science based system of process control, designed to prevent food safety problem during processing of food rather than to detect them after they have occurred
Considerations 3. Tolerance Level of Chemicals a. Changes b. Authority (FDA, EPA)
Considerations 4. Sampling Plan for Adequate Prevention a. Probability b. Random c. Alternate
Considerations 5. Risk assessment
Considerations 6. Analytical Tool and Testing Capacity a. Quality/Methodology b. Capacity /Capability c. Facilitator (Agency/State)
Considerations 7. Training a. FSIS Veterinarian/ Inspectors b. Industry personnel
Considerations 8. Regulatory Enforcement a. Linkage b. Amendments c. Interagency coordination d. New guidance material
Considerations 9. Information System a. Exchange between agencies b. Exchange between FSIS and industry c. Available resources
Considerations 10. Priorities a. Public Meeting b. Solicitation from Organization/CDC
Role of the Animal Egg Production and Food Safety Staff (AEPFS) Support the FSIS effort to create an environment for Farm-to-Table Food Safety Concept.
AEPFSS Approach No Regulatory Authority 1. Third Party Verified QA program (eg. Cull cows) 2. Producer Education/Information (eg. Video, slide, brochure)
AEPFSS Projects Cooperative Agreements/Outreach Program ( various projects including control of residues in food animals, poultry and egg) 24 Partnerships 16 Non-assistance with State 8 Non-assistance with Universities
Approach • QA certified program for producers • Live testing of animals • Encourage sale barn business practices that address food safety • Influence feed lot practices • Educate producer about HACCP
AEPFS Achievements • Nebraska/California a. Training Material b. Training Course • Nebraska/ Alabama a. Animal Food Safety Task Force • Alabama a. Mobile Food Safety Education Display • Missouri a. Education material for trade show b. Group Meetings
AEPFS Achievements • Illinois U, Iowa State U, Colorado U a. Field Study for Producer Education • Tuskegee With GA State Extension (Video, pamphlet) a. Education of Small Farmers a. Assistance to Small Producers assistance b. Need of Small Producer c. Impact of HACCP
AEPFS Contacts 1. American Sheep Industry 2. American Veal Association 3. Milk Dairy Beef Quality Association 4. National Chicken Council 5. National Cattleman Beef Association 6. Nation Pork Producer Association 7. National Turkey Federation 8. United Egg Producers
AEPFSS Educational Activity 1. Booklet for Residue Avoidance Program/TSC 2. Distribute Educational Materials 3. Update AEPFSS Book (Yellow Book) 4. Federal Guideline Model for a QA Certified Program 5. Develop QAP that stress HACCP Principles
Future Goals 1. Continue Cooperative Agreements with States and Universities 2. Work to eliminate hazards that exist in the farm to slaughter segment
