HACCP ( A FOOD PROTECTION SYSTEM) - CHAPTER 3 - CLASS ACTIVITY - GROUP

What is HACCP ?
HACCP is Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point, a systematized approach to preventing food borne illness during the production and preparation of food.

What is Critical Control Point (CCP) ?
A point in the HACCP process that must be controlled to ensure the safety of the food

SEVEN HACCP PRINCIPLES
1. Identify Hazard
        *Review you menu of product list to identify all the potentially hazardous foods you serve.
       * Potentially hazardous foods include; meats, dairy products, poultry, eggs and cooked fruit such as pasta, rice.
        - Biological hazards
        - Chemical hazards
        - Physical hazards

2. Determine (Identify) Critical Control Points (CCPs)
* A critical control point is an operation in the flow food which will prevent, eliminate, of reduce hazards to acceptable levels.
- Cooking, reheating and hot-holding
- Chilling, chilled storage and chilled display

3. Determine Safety Limits For CCPs
* Considering what should be done to reduce the hazard risk to safe levels
       * Should be specific as possible
       * Control time & temperature
- Ground beef must be hated to an internal temperature of 155 F (68 C) or greater for at least 15 seconds

4. Monitor CCPs

* In each food establishment, someone should be responsible for monitoring critical control points.
* The risk of food borne illness increases when a CCP is not met
- Monitoring tells you whether or not the internal temperature of poultry has reached 165 F (74 C) or above for 15 seconds.

5. Establish the Corrective Action To Be Taken When Monitoring Shows That a Critical Limit Has Been Exceeded
* Serious problems can occur when critical limits are not met yet
* The flow of food should not continue until all CCPs have been met
- If the temperature of the BBQ chicken on the steam table is not 135 F (57 C) or higher, check the steam table to make sure it is working properly and will keep food hot. Put the chicken on stove and reheat it rapidly to 165 F (74 C), on temperature danger zone for 4 hours or more.

6. Establish Procedures To Verity That The HACCP System Is Working
         * The verification process typically consists 2 phases
- Verify the critical limits that have been established for CCPs will prevent, eliminate or reduce hazards to acceptable levels.
- Verity the overall HACCP plan is functioning effectively.

7. Establish An Effective Record Keeping System That Documents The HACCP System
* Written HACCP plan that provide as much information as possible about hazards associated with each individual food item or group of food covered by the system.
* Clearly identify each CCP and the critical limits that have been set for each CCP.
* The procedures for monitoring CCP and record maintenance must also be contained in the establishments HACCP plan.
