Description
A HACCP plan documents the procedures used to ensure that the principles of HACCP are followed. It dictates the methods used to monitor and control chemical, physical, and biological hazards. It also directs the use of appropriate resources and timely responses to problems. Information in this course comes from the "Hazardous Analysis and Critical Control Point Principles and Application Guidelines" adopted by the USDA and FDA National Advisory Committee on Microbiological Criteria for Foods (NACMCF) in August 1997. In addition to enhanced assurance of food safety, information helps illustrate that an organization benefits from better use of resources and a timely response to problems.
Prerequisite programs are an essential foundation for the development and implementation of a successful HACCP plan. These have traditionally been based on current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs). While HACCP programs are limited to ensuring that food is safe to consume, all prerequisite programs should be reviewed for effectiveness during the design and implementation of a HACCP plan. Although they can be managed separately from the HACCP plan itself, some of their aspects may be incorporated into it. This course helps determine good safety practices concerning the consumption of seafood.
