The purpose of this project was to develop a manual for New York State Health Department sanitarians to use in conducting Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) inspections in foodservice operations throughout the state. The HACCP system, which first emerged in the late 1960s, is a rational process of estimating the risk associated with processing, marketing or preparing foods. It was originally developed for use in food processing but has been adopted for use in the foodservice industry. The HACCP system consists of three main components which are the: (1) Assessment of the hazards involved in the preparation of a food, (2) Determination of a critical control points required to control hazards, and (3) Establishment of procedures to monitor critical control points. This system has shown promise as a tool to reduce the frequency of foodborne disease outbreaks in foodservice operations. This manual was developed to assist local sanitarians in conducting HACCP inspections and in educating foodservice operators and employees about the HACCP approach. The manual was developed in two stages. The first stage involved a review of the literature pertaining to the HACCP concept, food microbiology, food sanitation and food preparation procedures. The second stage involved site visits to several foodservice operations and observations of HACCP inspections.

Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) is a systematic method to identify, evaluate and control food safety hazards. Since its initial development in the 1960s, HACCP has been increasingly used at every stage of the food chain. In many countries, it is a legal requirement for all food business operators to have some form of hazard analysis based on this system, and so there has been a growing interest in all aspects of HACCP.. Leatherhead Food Research has, for many years now, offered a comprehensive food safety training programme. These training courses are now going to be complemented with the first in a series of food safety publications. This guide is designed as an easy-to-use reference book to help all staff implement a thorough HACCP plan into their industry. A good understanding of HACCP is essential right across the board, from team leaders, production and engineering staff, and supervisors to those working the line including CCP monitors. The book contains detailed descriptions of all the basic information required to undertake a HACCP study. In addition to this, the book has been designed to allow photocopying of certain figures, tables and workflow diagrams. This publication has been designed as a practical user-friendly guide to HACCP, and is intended to be used as a reference back in the factory. It can be used as an introduction to the basics for those who have never received HACCP training or as a checklist for those who are already using HACCP on a daily basis.

The HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) system is still recognised internationally as the most effective way to produce safe food throughout the supply chain, but a HACCP system cannot operate in a vacuum. It requires prerequisite programmes to be in place and it can be highly affected by, or dependent upon, other major considerations such as animal, plant, human and environmental health, food security and food defence. This book: Provides a practical and up-to-date text covering the essentials of food safety management in the global supply chain, giving the reader the knowledge and skills that they need to design, implement and maintain a world-class food safety programme. Builds on existing texts on HACCP and food safety, taking the next step forward in the evolution of HACCP and providing a text that is relevant to all sectors and sizes of food businesses throughout the world. Shares practical food safety experience, allowing development of best-practice approaches. This will allow existing businesses to improve their systems and enable businesses that are new to HACCP and food safety management requirements in both developed and developing countries to build on existing knowledge for more rapid application of world-class food safety systems. Educates practitioners such that they will be able to use their judgement in decision-making and to influence those who make food policy and manage food operations. This book is an essential resource for all scientists and managers in the food industry (manufacturing and foodservice); regulators and educators in the field of food safety; and students of food science and technology.

The complete guide to help successfully implement a HACCP system The HACCP Food Safety Training Manual is a complete, user-friendly guide to the proper food handling procedures, hazard and risk analysis, monitoring techniques, and record keeping that every operation serving or selling food should follow. Collectively called a Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) plan, this system is recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture and must be used during the preparation and service of meals. Incorporating the most recent rules and regulations of the FDA Model Food Code, this helpful manual reviews food safety and food defense prerequisite programs and clearly outlines the major principles that define a successful HACCP system. The goal of this HACCP training program goes further to enable the reader to master the five points of the HACCP star. The five major points that define a successful HACCP system are: Establish Prerequisite Programs Apply Food Defense Evaluate Hazards and Critical Control Points Manage Critical Limits, Monitoring, and Corrective Actions Confirm by Record Keeping and Documentation This comprehensive manual provides the training material that all foodservice operations need to easily use HACCP standards. Essential employees and managers can use the enclosed exam answer sheet to complete the certificate exam to demonstrate their understanding of the HACCP system and its implementation.
