HACCP an Introduction Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point • HACCP can be applied to all stages of a food supply chain • HACCP has become a household name in the food safety industry, and is now being referenced in many other industries including pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. It’s a food safety system. It’s a joint venture of FAO/WHO 1969 NASA in collaboration with Pillsbury develop this system to prepare food for astronauts. Applications Distribution Preparation Packaging Production Processing
Objectives • Understand food industry auditing systems • Understand and relate components of auditing systems • Understand how audits support food safety and food defense management objectives. • Identify potential areas for improvement
Why consider an audit? • Food Code - 2009 Recommendations of the United States Public Health Service, Food and Drug Administration • Federal , State, Local Regulatory Authority Requirements • Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services • The Joint Commission Standards Formerly JACHO: Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations
What is the value of an audit? Establishment Inspection Establishment Audit • Evaluation of current conditions and whether they are in compliance with desired standard conditions. • Legal – regulatory requirements • Self inspection – internal standards • Evaluation of the management systems and operation controls in place to ensure that desired or required operating conditions are met and maintained.
A contracted auditing company will evaluate operation conditions, policy and procedure. Audit evaluation criteria will be organized criteria into categories. Examples include: Nutrition – Health and Safety Quality Food Safety Programs and Training Receiving, Storage and Transport Pest Control Employee Practices Building and Equipment Conditions Food Security What is the structure of an audit?

Auditing System Foundation Prerequisite Programs HACCP – Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point There are seven principles, developed by the National Advisory Committee on Microbiological Criteria for Foods, that serve as the foundation for a HACCP system. What are they?
Auditing System Foundation Prerequisite Programs • Construction and layout of buildings and associated utilities. • Layout of premises, including workspace and • employee facilities • Supplies of air, water, energy and other utilities • Suitability of equipment and its accessibility for cleaning, maintenance and preventive maintenance • Management of purchased materials • Measures for the prevention of cross contamination • Cleaning and sanitizing • Pest control • Personal hygiene
Auditing System Foundation How Does HACCP Work in Food Production?1.Conduct a hazard analysis to identify potential hazards that could occur in the food production process.2. Identify the critical control points (CCPs) -- those points in the process where the potential hazards could occur and can be prevented and/or controlled.3. Establish critical limits for preventive measures associated with each CCP. A critical limit is a criterion that must be met for each CCP. Where appropriate, critical limits may reflect relevant regulatory requirements.
Auditing System Foundation How Does HACCP Work in Food Production? 4. Establish CCP monitoring requirements to ensure each CCP stays within its limit. Monitoring may require materials or devices to measure or otherwise evaluate the process at CCPs.5. Establish corrective actions if monitoring determines a CCP is not within the established limits. In case a problem occurs, corrective actions must be in place to ensure no public health hazard occurs.
Auditing System Foundation How Does HACCP Work in Food Production? 6.Establish procedures for verifying that the HACCP system is working properly. Verification procedures may include reviewing the HACCP plan, CCP records, critical limits as well as conducting microbial sampling. Both plant personnel and auditors will conduct verification activities. 7. Establish effective recordkeeping procedures that document the HACCP system is working properly. Records should document CCP monitoring, verification activities and deviation records.
