HACCP: Principle 1 - Conduct a Hazard Analysis
Agri-News
This Week
Return to
Food Safety Information for Processors
The purpose of this principle is to develop a list of hazards that likely to cause injury or illness if not effectively controlled.
This process involves two stages:
hazard identification, and
hazard evaluation.
During the first stage, a list is developed of the potential biological, chemical or physical hazards that may be introduced, increased, or controlled at each step in the production process. In stage two, the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) team decides which potential hazards must be addressed in the HACCP plan. Each potential hazard is evaluated based on the severity and its likely occurrence.
