HACCP AND GMPS

What is HACCP?

HACCP, or Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point system, is a food safety management system that

1. Identifies where hazards might occur in the food production process
2. Puts into place stringent actions to prevent the hazards from occurring
3. Strictly monitors and controls critical steps of the process to reduce the likelihood that hazards will occur

Good Manufacturing Processes, also known as prerequisite programs, are the foundation for your HACCP program.
FSEP (CFIA's food safety program) lists 7 GMPs:

• Premises
• Equipment
• Personnel
• Sanitation and pest control
• Recall
• Allergen control programs
• Transportation, purchasing, receiving, shipping and storage
