What is HACCP?

- Conduct hazard analysis of biological, chemical or physical food hazards

- Establish critical control limits, for example, minimum cooking temperature and time
- Establish a system to monitor control of critical control points
- Establish corrective actions
- Establish procedure for verification to confirm that the HACCP system is working effectively
- Establish documentation and record keeping
