HACCP
- Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point go to bottom
HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) is a food safety management system based on a systematic hazard analysis of each step in a food production process, with the objective of identifying those points, which are critical to food safety – the Critical Control Points (CCPs). The Pilsbury Company, NASA and the US Army Nattick Laboratories created the original HACCP concept during their research in the production of safe food for the American space programme in 1973. Since then, the HACCP approach to food safety has achieved international acceptance.
