HACCP Implementation
Main steps in implementation
HACCP
•Is not a new concept
•Is preventive, not reactive
•A system for food and water safety control
•Is a management tool used to protect the
food and water supply against biological,
chemical and physical hazards
•Is not a zero-risk system
•Is designed to minimize the risk of food
safety hazards
Benefits
Changing a company approach
from retrospective quality testing to
preventive way of thinking
Providing a systematic approach covering all
aspects of food and water chain from raw
materials final product consumption
Increasing customer - consumer confidence in
product safety, trade opportunities
Benefits
Can be used in evaluating existing processes
or new ones to be developed
Provides scientific bases and confidence for
inspection, for regulatory agencies
Cost effective way of assuring safety and
control of food-borne hazards
The opportunities
Gives opportunities for real team work
forms basis for training of the staff
valuable resource in continuous improvement
Useful technique for analysing hazards
Can be combined and supported by other
management systems
Step 0 : Management Commitment
Food and water safety is a responsibility of
producer and shall be included in the policies
of the organization
Top management has the final responsibility
for the policy of the organization and shall
document, support and communicate this
policy
Periodically the management shall verify the
implementation of policies
Step 1: assemble the HACCP
team
Depending on the size of the company
Small (4-6 persons) & multi-disciplinary:
engineering, maintenance
production, technology
QM, quality control
microbiology, hygiene
logistic
legal department
others (marketing & sales, purchasing,
R&D, finance, etc.)
Training of the HACCP team

be available - the areas covered by hygiene and
pest control programs and facilities for
personnel
Step 5 : Control & verification of
flow charts.
The description of the process schemes, flow diagrams
and lay out plans shall be verified for compliance with the
actual situation
This verification shall be periodically repeated – at least
annually – in order to timely identify and document the
changes/modifications of the process installation and in
the lay out and to be able to assess the risks for safety in
time.
The execution of the verification shall be documented in
a program
List all potential hazards in every process step
Step 6 : Hazard analysis & control
measures
Hazards
Hazard : a biological, chemical or
physical agent in, or condition of,
foodstuffs or water with the
potential to cause an adverse
health effect.
Physical hazards
Material Injury potential Sources
Glass Cuts, bleeding
May require surgery
Bottles, glass, light
fixtures, utensils, gauge
covers
Wood Cuts, infection, choking
May require surgery
Fields, pallets, boxes,
buildings
Stones Choking, broken teeth Fields, buildings
Metal Cuts, infection Machinery, fields, wire,
employees
Hazard identification
Precise identification of each type of hazard
e.g. (micro)biological :
contamination with Staphylococcus aureus
growth of yeasts
survival of Cryptosporidium
e.g. chemical :
residue of detergent
contact with lubricant
contamination by cooling liquid
Conduct a risk analysis
Hazard Analysis
Hazard Analysis : the process of
collecting and evaluating information
on hazards and conditions leading to
their presence to decide their
significant for food safety and
therefore should be addressed in the
HACCP plan.
PROBABILITY of the HAZARD which may
occur
CONSEQUENCE (SEVERITY)
1 very smalle.g. every ten year
2 small e.g. yearly
3 possiblee.g. monthly
4 big e.g. weekly
1 very limited e.g. no significant health impact
2 moderate e.g. unease, nausea, mild
diarrhoea
3 severe e.g. sickness or injury requiring
medical intervention
4 very severe (catastrophe)e.g. serious health impact, could
be fatal

Hazard Analysis
Control measure: Any action and activity that
can be used to prevent or eliminate a food
safety hazard or reduce it to an acceptable level.
Control measure, general: A measure to
control a specific part of the PRP (see use of
decision tree)
Control measure, specific: A measure to
control a CCP (see use of decision tree)
Control measures
The HACCP team shall identify and document
the control measures that are to be applied and
– as a result of hazard analysis – are or will be
implemented to eliminate or reduce risks to an
acceptable level
Control measures shall, as far as applicable, be
documented in specifications, instructions,
procedures

Step 7 : Determine CCPs
Critical Control Point (CCP)
Critical Control Point: a step at which control
can be applied and is essential to prevent or
to eliminate a food safety hazard or reduce it
to an acceptable level.
Critical Control Point (CCP)
•Points may be identified as CCP’s when
hazards can be prevented, for some
products and processes the following may
be true:
–Introduction of hazard can be prevented by control at
receiving step
–A chemical hazard can be prevented by control at the
raw water stage
–Pathogen growth in the finished product can be
prevented by control at treatment stage (e.g., pH
adjustment or addition of preservatives)
Critical Control Point (CCP)
•Points may be identified as CCP’s when
hazards can be eliminated, for some
products and processes the following may
be true:
–Pathogens and parasites can be killed during
heat treatment or UV light treatment
–Metal fragments can be detected by a metal
detector and eliminated by removing the
contaminated product.
Critical Control Point (CCP)
•Points may be identified as CCP’s when
hazards are reduced to acceptable levels,
for some products and processes the
following may be true:
–Occurrence of foreign objects can be
minimized manually.
–Some chemical hazards such as Chlorine can
be reduced by processes such as strict
checks on dosing pumps and calibration
Aided by use of a decision tree:
consider each step in the flow
diagram
must be applied on each
(significant) hazard
use common sense

Add PRP’s & CCP’s in column 6
Step 8: Establish Critical Limit(s)
for each CCP
Critical Limits
Critical Limit: a criterion which separates
acceptability from unacceptability of a
product or parameter.
Critical limits
•Specify and validate, if possible, criteria that separate
acceptability from unacceptability. Measurements of
temperature, pH, a
w
, sensory parameters, etc.
•National regulations/standards and Company standards
need to be met (or exceeded).
•Target levels may also be determined (= action values).
HACCP Plan Form

Critical
limits
The CCP’s, hazards and critical limits should be recorded in
columns 1, 2 and 3 on the HACCP plan form
Step 9 : Establish a Monitoring
System for each CCP
Establish a monitoring system
Monitoring is an essential part of the study
The system must be able to detect loss of control
at the CCP (non-conformity) in time for the batch to
be isolated before it is used/consumed
Continuously or spot checks
The system must include:
monitoring method
monitoring frequency
personnel responsible for monitoring
personnel responsible for evaluating the
monitoring results
indication of where the monitoring result is
recorded/documented
Monitoring system
Monitoring of critical process
parameters
What : usually a measurement or observation to assess if
the CCP is operating within the critical limit
How: usually physical or chemical measurements (for
quantitative critical limits) or observations (for qualitative
critical limits) – Needs to be real-time and accurate
Frequency: continuous or periodic (non-continuous)
Who: responsible individual trained to perform the specific
monitoring activity or evaluate monitoring records

Step 10: Establish Corrective
Action for deviations that may occur
Actions in case of deviation at a CCP:
•Corrective action for the process
• Handle non-conforming products
–Place suspect products on hold
–Assess the situation and seek for advice
–Conduct further tests to assess safety
•When enough information is obtained, make a
decision.
Step 11: Validation
Validation
Validation : Obtaining evidence (in
advance) that the specific and general
control measures of the HACCP plan are
effective.
“Are we going to do the right things ?”
Validation
Initial phase, in which the HACCP plan is
tested and reviewed
Validation of Critical Limits:
Process to ensure, that critical limits are
properly designed
Evaluate, if the target value are
adequate to control identified hazard
Step 12 : Verification
The food or water business operator shall have a
program for confirming that the HACCP system is
working effectively (auditing, sampling and
analyzing…)
This verification shall be conducted periodically with
the purpose of examining whether the system is
applied as documented and whether the system is
still fit for purpose or needs to be revised/modified
The frequency shall be sufficient to ensure
continuing suitability and adequacy
A feedback loop to management needs to be
established for review
Verification
Verification : the application of methods,
procedures, tests and other evaluations, in
addition to monitoring to determine
compliance with specified requirements.
“Are we doing things right ?”
Types of verification
Internal audits
Analysis
Handling of customer complaints
The use of statistical analysis
External audits from authorities, customers or
third parties
...
Step 13: Establish Record Keeping
and Documentation
Document and Data Control
Manual with policy, scope, procedures etc.
Document control
to approve documents for adequacy prior to issue,
to review and update as necessary and re-approve
documents,
to ensure that changes and the current revision
status of documents are identified,
to ensure that relevant versions of applicable
documents are available at points of use,
to ensure that documents remain legible and readily
identifiable,
Document and Data Control
to ensure that documents of external origin are
identified and their distribution controlled,
to prevent the unintended use of obsolete documents,
and to suitably identify them if they are retained for
any purpose
Records
The documentation and data shall consist at least of:
Records to demonstrate that the members of the HACCP team
have adequate knowledge, expertise and different disciplines
available;
Records concerning management reviews and, if needed,
related actions;
Records of the hazard analysis and information sources
(legislation, standards, literature, hygiene- codes, GMP, Codex)
used by the HACCP teams to identify and evaluate the hazards
and risks;
Records of the assessment of every step in the process and the
reasons for establishing the Specific Control Measures (CCP
related) and General Control Measures;
Records
Monitoring reports (dated and signed) of the Specific Control
Measures to demonstrate the control of the related CCP’s;
Records of deviations occurred (exceeded action limits and critical
action limits) of the Specific Control Measures and the corrective
actions taken;
Records related to the verification program (including internal
audits) and their evaluation;
Records that are relevant to ensure traceability of food stuffs.
Key Next steps --- Awareness
The organisation should ensure that its
employees working at each relevant function
and level are aware of:
the importance of conformance to Food and
water Safety requirements
their roles and responsibilities in achieving
conformance to the requirements
the potential consequences of departure from
specified operating procedures
