Basic concept of HACCP Right Ans - prevention rather than inspection
What does HACCP deal with Right Ans - food safety issues
-control factors affecting ingredients, product, process, material, and people
Who used haccp first Right Ans - pillsbury - made food for astronauts
1960's
General steps of hacp Right Ans - identify potential steps, sources for
pathogens, develop/design procedures to prevent hazards from happening
ahead of time

sanitary standard operating practices (SSOP)
standard operating practices (SOP)
recall procedures
ssop Right Ans - what sanitizers, how often you are sanitizing
recall procedures Right Ans - alternative for ensuring food safety
, prerequisite qualities Right Ans - indirectly with safety, more general, plant
applicable, failure seldom results in safety hazard

product and line specific, deviation critical for safety reasons
principle 1 Right Ans - conduct a hazard anaylsis
hazard anaylses Right Ans - biological hazards, chemical hazards, physical
hazards
biological hazards Right Ans - most serious from a public health aspect
includes: foodborne bacterial pathogens, foodborne protozoan pathogens,
foodborne viral pathogens
chemical hazards Right Ans - pesticides, paints, lubricants, cleaners,
sanitizers, mycotoxins, plant toxins, improper use of food additives

principle 2 Right Ans - determine critical control point
ccp Right Ans - a point, step or procedure in a process at which control can
be applied to prevent, eliminate, or reduce a food safety hazard to an
acceptable level
-biological, chemical, or a combo
control point Right Ans - cp
any point, step, or procedure in a process where loss of control is not likely to
result in an unacceptable health or safety risk but correction is required
specificity of ccp Right Ans - product and process specific
