1.1 Introduction
Hazards Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) is a very useful commercial business tool that be used to improve the quality of food product; ensure safety of food products and reduce the risk of food poisoning. It is an internationally recognized methodology for preventing food safety hazards. HACCP uses a system of monitoring Critical Control Points (CCPs) at steps in a food production process where a potential critical hazard to food safety has been identified. The safety of the food product is built into the process of producing the product rather than relying on inspection only after food has been prepared. This system truly puts the responsibility for producing safe food in the hands of industry, including not only management but also individuals who handle food products.
