Overview

1The

HACCP system

HACCP concept element Application step and principle*

Define the food and the processes involved in production

Break down the process into steps

Application steps 1–5

Determine possible hazards associated with each step and probability of hazard persistence in end product if no effective preventive measures are implemented

Specify control measures

HACCP principle 1

Application step 6

Consequently, determine critical control points (CCPs)

Establish critical limits

HACCP principles 2 and 3

Application steps 7–8

Monitor CCPs to ensure proper implementation of control measures

Take corrective action when parameter monitoring indicates failure of control measure

HACCP principles 4 and 5

Application steps 9–10

System to be reviewed, confirmed and audited

Records must be generated for the system to be documented

HACCP principles 6 and 7

Application steps 11–12

Figure 1. Evolution of the concept of hazard analysis and the identification and monitoring of critical control points in a system to ensure food safety

Principle 1 Conduct a hazard analysis.

Principle 2 Determine the Critical Control Points (CCPs).

Principle 3 Establish critical limit(s).

Principle 4 Establish a system to monitor control of the CCP.

Principle 5 Establish the corrective action to be taken when monitoring

indicates that a particular CCP is not under control.

Principle 6 Establish procedures for verification to confirm that

the HACCP system is working effectively.

Principle 7 Establish documentation concerning all procedures and records

appropriate to these principles and their application.

Recall

Classification of the level of product recall

If a food business becomes aware or is notified of a potential food safety incident, all necessary action must be taken to protect public health.

Notification of a product recall

Owner/CEO

Recall co-ordinator

Distribution

Production & quality assurance

Consumer affairs

Accounting

Legal counsel

Public relations

Technical

Marketing

1. Stop all distribution of questionable material and arrange for return of product to collection points.

2. Prepare inventory and distribution status of product showing where, when, to whom and quantity shipped.

1. Prepare batch identification.2. Halt production of product if related

problem.3. Investigate for cause of problem, and

check all records.

1. Prepare response for consumers.2. Answer all consumer enquiries.

1. Set up stock reconciliation system to determine cost of recall.

1. Handle legal implications.

1. Handle press releases – all media.

1. Obtain batch identification and samples.

2. Obtain product analysis to determine if pick-up or destruction necessary.

3. Consult with regulatory agencies if a recall is required.

1. Notify sales managers and brokers.2. Arrange for pick-up at retail levels.3. Arrange for proper credit to be given.

Initiate product analysis where necessary

No health hazard Handle as complaint or quality recall

Product not distributed to consumers

Carry out WITHDRAWAL

Notify company executives

Notify regulatory authorities

Collate all product/ production information

Product distributed to consumers

Communicating a product recall

Testing and reviewing the product recall plan

Managing a product recall

Reviewing the lessons learned

Reviewing the product recall process

The production problemThe pH of an acid-preserved foodstuff is too high. The product is distributed at ambient temperature, has a shelf life of one year, does not require re-heating, and has been on sale for one month.

Hazard identificationThe bacterium Clostridium botulinum could grow during product distribution. C. botulinum causes botulism, a condition where a person who eats food in which C. botulinum has grown and produced toxin may die.

Exposure assessmentThe product conditions and shelf life are suitable for C. botulinum to grow and produce toxin. There is no re-heating to degrade the toxin. The consumer is likely to have bought the product. The chances of exposure to C. botulinum toxin are high.

Hazard characterizationC. botulinum toxin is one of the most potent neurotoxins known. If the toxin is ingested the chances are high that the consumer will develop severe breathing difficulties and may die.

Risk characterizationThe chances of exposure are high and the consequences of exposure potentially lethal. A severe adverse public health effect is likely. It is not possible to quantify the risk or the uncertainties associated with the risk.

Risk management decisionRecall of product from the affected batches with immediate effect.

7 Determine Critical Control Points (CCPs) (HACCP principle 2)

Q1. Does this step involve a hazard of sufficient likelihood of occurrence and severity to warrant its control?

Modify step, process or product

Is control at this step necessary for safety?

Q2. Does a control measure for the hazard exist at this step?

Q3. Is control at this step necessary to prevent, eliminate, or reduce the risk of hazard to consumers?

This is a Critical Control Point

Yes No

Yes

Yes No Not a CCP

Governmental or non-governmental agency chooses a traditional food group to apply HACCP system to

Select producers who have good potential to implement HACCP system

Worker(s) from each plant selected to attend training courses in:• Principles of food quality, safety and preservation• General principles of food hygiene, especially cleaning,

disinfection and personal hygiene• The HACCP system and its application

Carry out gap analysis in each plant Take maintenance and corrective measures necessary for HACCP application

Review product description and flow diagram for each model and make necessary amendments to accommodate actual processing activity in each plant

Consequently, make necessary amendments in HACCP chart of each product

Train all workers in the plant in the HACCP system(s) developed for their products

Review and verify the developed HACCP plan(s)

Implement the tailored HACCP plan(s)

Audit / inspect and verify the implementation of the HACCP system

Review and validate the application
