Q

Describe the first stage of the a HACCP system.
(HACCP team)
(2 points)

A

(Critical control points)
2 points

A

Control measures or critical control points are decided on after a risk assessment has been carried out

These CCPs are points in the food production process where hazards can be controlled or eliminated

23
Q

What is the fourth stage of a HACCP system called?

A

Critical limits

24
Q

Describe the fourth stage of a HACCP system

Critical Limits

A

Critical limits are set to identify when a CCP is out of control

25
Q

Why are critical limits set?

A

To identify when a critical control point is out of control

26
Q

What are set to identify when a critical control point is out of control?

A

Critical limits

27
Q

What is the fifth stage of a HACCP system called?

A

Monitoring system

28
Q

Describe the fifth stage of a HACCP system.
(Monitoring system)
4 points

A

A monitoring system is established to record what happens at each CCP to ensure food is kept safe

Monitoring procedures can include visual inspection and physical measurements

Written documentation is kept of this monitoring

For every CCP determined one must ask ‘What is to be done?’, ‘When is it to be done’, ‘How is it to be done’ and ‘Who is to do it’?

29
Q

Why is a monitoring system established?

A

To record what happens at each critical control point to ensure food is kept safe

30
Q

What is a monitoring system composed off?

2

A

Visual inspection

Physical measurements

31
Q

In relation to the monitoring system, what is kept after it is carried out?

A

Written documentation is kept of the monitoring that took place

32
Q

What questions must be asked and answered when establishing a monitoring system?
(4)

A

What is to be done?

When is it to be done?

How is it to be done?

Who is to do it?

33
Q

What is the sixth stage of a HACCP system called?

A

Corrective action

34
Q

Describe the sixth stage of a HACCP system

Corrective action

A

Corrective actions are established which are carried out If monitoring procedures identify that CCPs were not met or are not under control

35
Q

When are corrective actions carried out?

A

If monitoring procedures identify that critical control points were not met or are not under control

36
Q

What happens if a monitoring system identifies that critical control points were not met or are not under control?

A

Corrective actions are carried out

37
Q

What is the seventh stage of a HACCP system called?

A

Verification Process

38
Q

Describe the seventh stage of a HACCP system

Verification process

A

A verification process is established to prove that a HACCP system was functioning correctly

39
Q

Why does a verification process need to be established?

A

To prove that a HACCP system was functioning correctly

40
Q

What is the eight stage of a HACCP system called?

A

Record system

41
Q

Describe the eight stage of a HACCP system

Record System

A

A record is kept containing detailed, accurate record of monitoring CCPs, corrective actions and monitoring systems in place which is are used as evidence in compliance with legislation

42
Q

In relation to the record system, what is kept?

A

A record containing detailed, accurate record of monitoring critical control points, corrective actions and monitoring systems in place

43
Q

What is the function of a HACCP record?

A

It can be used as evidence in compliance with legislation
