SITXFSA004 - Develop and Implement Food Safety Program-Written Test V2.1

HACCP stands for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points. It is a systematic preventative approach to food safety that identifies specific hazards and measures for their control to ensure the safety of food. The seven principles of HACCP are: conduct a hazard analysis, determine the critical control points, establish critical limits, establish monitoring procedures, establish corrective actions, establish verification procedures, and establish record-keeping and documentation procedures. HACCP provides a scientific system for identifying, evaluating, and controlling food safety hazards.
