HACCP

The Seven Principles of HACCP

These seven key principles reduce safety hazards across all dimensions of foodservice. When you follow them, you’re not just helping to assure regulatory compliance; you’re also enhancing the quality of your product and protecting the integrity of your brand. 

  1. Conduct a hazard analysis
  2. Determine the critical control points (CCPs)
  3. Establish critical limits
  4. Establish monitoring procedures
  5. Establish corrective actions
  6. Establish verification procedures
  7. Establish record keeping and documentation procedures

Critical Control Points for Food Safety (CCPs)

Throughout your operations, food passes through dangerous temperature zones or CCPs. Closely monitor these areas for safety.

Receiving

Verify that food has arrived undamaged and within the recommended temperature range before accepting a shipment.

Cooling

Avoid irreversible food safety risks by cooling cooked food properly and storing separately before reheating to serve.

Storing

Separate food to prevent cross-contamination and keep it refrigerated, frozen or in dry storage until time for preparation.

Reheating

Consider time and temperature to safely reheat cooked food, and don’t mistakenly think this will remedy improper cooling.

Preparation

Manage time when thawing and maintain proper temperatures during every step of prep: slicing, breading, mixing, etc. 

Holding

Keep both hot and cold food at recommended temperatures when holding before, during and after service.

Cooking

Check frequently with thermometers and use timers to ensure food is cooked properly to maintain safety standards.

Serving

Look beyond temperatures to personal hygiene and cross-contamination to help ensure safe food is served to customers.
