• C. 6
• D. 5

Hint:

Remember: "H-C-L-M-C-V-D" (Hazards, CCPs, Limits, Monitoring, Corrections, Verification, Documentation). HACCP was originally developed by NASA to ensure safe food for astronauts!

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

HACCP is built around a fixed, globally recognised framework of seven principles, starting with conducting a hazard analysis and identifying critical control points, followed by setting critical limits, monitoring procedures, corrective actions, verification steps, and finally proper record keeping. Every certified food safety plan is expected to work through all seven of these in order, without skipping any.
