HACCP Planning
(Advisory Only)
HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) is a preventive, systems-based framework used in the food industry to identify where food safety risks could occur and how to prevent them before problems arise.
At a high level, HACCP planning:
- Identifies potential biological, chemical, and physical hazards.
- Pinpoints critical control points where risks can be prevented or detected .
- Defines limits, monitoring steps, corrective actions, and record-keeping.
Rules Of Engagement assists with HACCP planning and documentation only. We do not validate, certify, approve, or sign off on HACCP plans.
