The hazard analysis critical control point (HACCP) concept is a systematic approach to the identification assessment and control of haz.cJrds. The system offers a rational approach to the control of microbiological hazards in foods, avoids the many weaknesses inherent in the inspectional approach and circumvents the shortcomings of reliance on microbiological testing. By focusing attention on the factors that directly affect the microbiological safety of a food, it eliminates wasteful use of resources ~n extraneous considerations, while ensuring that the levels of safety and quality are met and maintained. Components of the system and definitions of terms The HACCP system comprises of the following sequential steps: I. Identification of hazards and assessrµent of the severity of these hazards and their risks (hazard analysis), associated with growth, harvesting, processing, manufacture, distribution, marketing, preparation and/or use of a raw material or food product. Identify hazards and assess their severity and risk Determine critical control points Specify criteria to ensure control Monitor critical control points Take corrective action whenever monitoring indicates criteria are not met Verify that the system is functioning as planned 53 Scanned by CamScanner Beekeeping (General) Reg i!latidns G.N . No. 425 (contd.) • Hazard means the unacceptable contalllillation, growth or survival in food of microorganisms that may affect food safety or lead to spoilage, and/or the unacceptable production or persistence in foods of products of microbial metabolism. · ... ~ ... • Severity is the magnitude of the ha~ ard, or the seriousness of the possible conseq~enc~s. ':.::: , ··. • Risk is an estimate of the probability of a hazard occurring. Hazard analysis consists of an evaluation of all procedures concerned with the production, distribution and use of raw materials and food products to: (I) identi°fy p otentially hazardous raw materials and foods that may contain poisonous substances, pathogens, or large numbers of food spoilage microorganisms, and o/or that can support microbial growth; (2) identify the potential sources and specific points of contamination; (3) determine the probability that microorganisms will survive or multiply during production, processing, distribution, storage and preparation for consumption; and ( 4) assess the risks and severity of the hazards identified. 2. Determination of critical control poirits (CCPs) at which the identified hazards can be controlled. • .HACCP is an operation (practice, procedure, location or process) at which control can be exercised over one or more factors to eliminate , prevent or minimize a hazar~. In some food processes, control of a single operation (CCP) can completely eliminate one or more microbial hazards, e,g., in pasteurization. It is also possible to identify control points at which a hazard can be minimized but not completely eliminated. Both types of CCP are important and must be controlled. 3. Specification of criteria that indicate whether an operation is under control at a particular critical control point. • Criteria are limits of char.acteristics of a physical (e.g., time or temperature), chemical ( e.g. concentration of salt or acetic acid), biological or sensorial nature. It is important to select appropriate mean; to ·check that the hazard has been controlled at the CCP. Factors to be monitored may include time and temperature for thermally processed foods; water activity 54 Scanned by CamScanner . k -:; . g (Genera/I Regulations Bee eepzn 1 G.N . No. 425 (contd.) .

Establishment and implementation of,pro~edur~.s to monitor each critical control point to check that it is undeT control. • Monitoring involves the systematic observation, measurement and/or recording of the significant factors for control of the hazard. The monitoring procedures chosen must enable action to be taken to rectify an out-of-control situation, either before or during an operation: The monitoring must detect any deviation from the specification ( loss of control) in time for corrective action to be taken before the product is sold or distributed. Five main types of monitoring are employed; observation, sensory evaluation, measurement of physical properties chemical testing and microbiological examination. 5. Implementation of appropriate corrective action when monitoring indicates that criteria specified for safety and quality at a particular critical control point are normet.. 6. Verification, i.e . the use of supplementary infortl)ation. and tests to ensure that the HACCP system is functioning as planned. Verification may be done by either quality control staff or health or regulatory agency personnel. It includes a review of the HACCP plan to determine whether all hazards have been detected, all critical control points identified, criteria are appropriate, and monitoring procedures are affective in evaluating operations. Records are reviewed and supplementary tests done to evaluate the effec tiveness of the monitoring. Dar es Salaam. 28"' October, 2005 . . Z A KIA H.
