HACCP stands for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points. In the food industry, the purpose of HACCP is to identify and prevent hazards that could cause foodborne illness, in other words Food Safety.

Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) is a preventive system of food control. It involves examining and analysing every stage of a food-related operation to identify and assess hazards; determining the 'critical control points' (CCPs) at which action is required to control the identified hazards; establishing the critical limits that must be met, and procedures to monitor, each critical control point; establishing corrective procedures when a deviation is identified by monitoring; documentation of the HACCP plan and verification procedures to establish that it is working correctly.

HACCP abbreviated for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points. It is a management system in which food safety is measured through the control and analysis of chemical, microbiological and physical hazards from the material production, handling to producing, distribution and consumption of the finished product. HACCP is most important in the Food production. It has the control potential hazards and the prioritizes in the food production. HACCP is controlling the major food risks like the physical contaminants, chemical contaminants and microbiological contaminants. The Industry should ensure their customers that its products are safe enough in regards of latest technology and science.

HACCP stands for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point. Its purpose is to eliminate the risks involved in food production by identifying the main control points where risks lie to ensure a safe product at the end of the production process.

HACCP is important because it prioritizes and controls potential hazards in food production. By controlling major food risks, such as microbiological, chemical and physical contaminants, the industry can better assure consumers that its products are as safe as good science and technology allows. By reducing foodborne hazards, public health protection is strengthened.

How is HACCP used?

HACCP is used to try to prevent food-borne illnesses before they start. For example, a restaurant with a HACCP plan may buy fish. One point of the HACCP plan may be what to do when the fish arrives at the restaurant. The plan, then, could be instructions on how to properly inspect the fish before accepting it into the kitchen.

What types of foods are most commonly incorporated into the Haccp system?

HACCP is generally related to microbiological high risk foods, but any food could be the source of illness - so any food could have a HACCP plan.For example, bread might not be considered high risk, but it could be subject to physical (metal, wood, insects, etc.) and chemical (cleaners, mislabeled ingredient, etc.) hazards. A bakery would benefit from a HACCP plan.


What types os food are most commonly incorporated into the HACCP system?

Meat products, poultry products, and fruit juices. High risk foods give the most benefit with HACCP plans. However, almost all processed foods are now using HACCP plans.


What does HACCAP stand for?

I'm not sure if this is true but I believe the acronym you mean is HACCP. If so then HACCP stands for Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point which is an FDA program. The HACCP refers to any problems or hazards that may be found in food or drugs that need to be prvented, eliminated or reduced to acceptable levels. HACCAP is not known to be an acronym for anything. More on HACCP can be found at the fda website FDA.gov.
