HACCP system
HACCP is the acronym for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point.
All food businesses engaged in any phase of the production, processing, storage and / or distribution of foodstuffs shall implement the HACCP system.
The HACCP system is a preventive methodology used to control food safety in order to avoid potential risks that could cause harm to the consumer by eliminating or reducing to an acceptable level those hazards. By applying this system it is ensured that unsafe food is not made available to the consumer.
Principles of HACCP:
- Identify and analyze hazards and their preventive measures
- Identify critical control points (CCPs)
- Establish critical limits for each measure associated with each CCP
- Monitor and control each CCP
- Establish corrective actions for the case of deviations from critical limits
- Establish verification procedures
- Establish a registration system for controls
The implementation of the HACCP system is based on the establishment of a system of prerequisites that controls the issues associated with:
- Structures and Equipment
- Sanitation Plan
- Pest Control
- Water supply
- Collection of waste
- Materials in contact with food
- Personal Hygiene
- Training
