Learning Objectives
Identify the 7 HACCP principles.
Recognize the Process Approach to HACCP.
Demonstrate application of the Process Approach to HACCP.
National Food Service Management Institute 44

45. HACCP What is HACCP? Why is it important?
Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points
Why is it important?
Provides a systematic approach to
identifying food safety hazards
Talking points:
HACCP stands for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point. It is a systematic approach to identifying food safety hazards.
Combined with SOPS, a food safety program based on HACCP principles will prevent, eliminate, or reduce the occurrence of FBI risk factors.
SOPS control for non-specific hazards; HACCP controls for specific, measurable hazards. The key with application of HACCP principles is that the hazards must be measurable through CCPs and critical limits.
Schools are required (by federal law) to have a written school food safety program based on HACCP principles.
The USDA issued guidance for SFAs in 2005 that is comprehensive and still applicable (participants can be referred to this for details on a school food safety program).
Recommended review materials for instructors:
National Food Service Management Institute 45

46. HACCP What is its purpose?
Control specific, measurable hazards
What is the key to HACCP application? Hazards must be measurable through:
Critical Control Points (CCP)
Critical Limits
National Food Service Management Institute 46

47. HACCP in School Nutrition Programs
Schools are required by federal law to have a food safety program based on HACCP principles
USDA guidance for SFA is available at: Or
National Food Service Management Institute 47

48. HACCP Principles Conduct a hazard analysis
Determine critical control points
Establish critical limits
Establish monitoring procedure
Instructor notes:
Since the school food safety plan needs to be based on HACCP principles, it may be more helpful to present them as principles rather than a checklist. Also, the seven principles apply to traditional HACCP and the Process Approach. This may not be necessary to point out to participants in a food safety basics course; however, the title implies that the principles are unique to the Process Approach, which is inaccurate.
The USDA Guidance slightly modified the 6th and 7th principles – the 7th was moved to 6th and the 6th was slightly reworded, but holds the same meaning.
The 7 principles were defined and endorsed by the National Advisory Committee on Microbiological Criteria for Food (NACMCF)… The development was credited to ServSafe (NRA) in the pilot course at SNA ANC.
Talking points:
Conduct a hazard analysis: The first step is to determine how the menu item is prepared in your school nutrition program.
Was it prepared and served without cooking?
Was it prepared and cooked for same-day service?
Was it prepared, cooked, held, cooled, reheated, and served?
What menu items are prepared similarly?
Identify those with PHF/TCS and where the food safety hazard may be during the process.
Determine critical control points
Identify the points during the process where PHF/TCS can be prevented, eliminated, or reduced to reduced to safe levels
Depending on the food there may be more than one CCP.
Establish critical limits
Determine the minimum or maximum limits that must be met to prevent, eliminate, or reduce the hazard to a safe level.
Establish monitoring procedures
Once the critical limit is established determine how best to check that limits are consistently met
Identify who will monitor and how often
National Food Service Management Institute 48

49. HACCP Principles Identify corrective actions Keep records
Review and revise your overall food safety program periodically
Identify corrective actions
What steps must be taken if a critical limit is not met?
In advance, determine what steps would be taken.
Keep records
Maintain your HACCP plan like you do your SOPs
Maintain all documentation created when developing you HACCP plan
Additional records to maintain include:
monitoring activities completed;
corrective action taken;
equipment is checked for accuracy &/or good working order;
working with suppliers on shelf life studies, invoices, specifications, etc.
Review and revise your overall food safety program periodically
Ask yourself if the plan is working as intended
Plan to evaluate monitoring charts, records, and how you conducted the hazard analysis
Review all records when updating the HACCP plan
National Food Service Management Institute 49

50. The Process Approach to HACCP
Food Safety Basics
The Process Approach to HACCP
Instructor notes:
Explain what the process approach is and why it is easier for schools to take this approach than the traditional approach.
Clarify that menu items must be PHFs/TCS foods and that the menu item is categorized based on complete trips through the danger zone.
Key term to consider is measurable!
