Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points

HACCP is a worldwide quality system used mainly in the human food industry but also in other related industries such as pharmaceuticals. It has been proven to dramatically reduce quality problems by directing resources to identified areas in a process, which are deemed critical to the end product.

A Hazard Analysis of the whole process helps to identify Critical Control Points (CCP's). Parameters are then set in order to control these CCP's and they are monitored their effectiveness to ensure control.
