Food Handler chef Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point system (HACCP)

  • a system which:
  • 1. looks at hazardous and high risk food;
    2. identifies the greatest risk factors of the food known to cause foodborne illness;
    3. makes the changes necessary to reduce or eliminate the risk;
    4. monitors the overall food handling


    HACCP was developed by Pillsbury Foods and NASA to ensure their astronauts would have a safe source of food in space.

Hazard Analysis:

  • a review of recipes to determine which food requires a lot of handling and has a high possibility for time and temperature abuse

Critical Control Point (CCP):

  • a point where a hazard exists and a control measure is used to eliminate, prevent or minimize that hazard
