Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) is a process control system designed to identify and prevent microbial and other hazards in food production.
HACCP enables the producers, processors, distributors, exporters, etc of food products to utilize technical resources efficiently and in a cost effective manner in assuring food safety. Food inspection too would be more systematic and therefore hassle-free. It would no doubt involve deployment of some additional finances initially but this would be more than compensated in the long run through consistently better quality and hence better prices and returns.
Benefits of HACCP
A Proprietor of a food business shall identify any step in the activities of the food business which is critical to ensure food safety and ensure that adequate safety procedures are identified, implemented, maintained and reviewed.
The food supply chain for food and beverages is vital for the health of the nation. A HACCP system is a preventative approach to controlling food safety. HACCP moves away from reliance on end product testing to a more proactive, preventative approach of controlling potential hazards. The modern HACCP system and guidelines for its application were defined by the Codex Alimentarius Commission in the Codex Alimentarius Code of Practice.

HACCP Principles
HACCP follows basic principles:
Conduct a Hazard Analysis. There are 7 Stages to this:
Define Terms of Reference
Select the HACCP team
Describe the product
Identify intended use
Construct a flow diagram
On-site verification of flow diagram
List all hazards and control measures
Determine the Critical Control Points (CCPs) using a decision tree. These are the points where hazards must be eliminated or minimized.
Establish Critical Limits which must be met to ensure the CCP is under control.
Establish a system for monitoring the control at CCPs.
Establish the corrective actions to be taken when monitoring indicates that a particular CCP is not under control6. Establish procedures for verification to confirm that the HACCP system is working correctly.
