Question

Which one is NOT a principle of the HACCP system?

• A. Conduct a hazard analysis
• B. Establish critical limit(s)
• C. Establish a system between government and Food Industry
• D. Establish a system to monitor control of the critical control points

Hint:

HACCP has exactly 7 principles. Anything outside this list is NOT part of HACCP.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept: HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) is a systematic preventive approach used in food safety management. It identifies, evaluates, and controls hazards that are significant for food safety. HACCP is based on seven well-defined principles.

Step 1: Listing the seven HACCP principles.
The standard HACCP principles are:
• Conduct a hazard analysis
• Determine critical control points (CCPs)
• Establish critical limits
• Establish monitoring procedures
• Establish corrective actions
• Establish verification procedures
• Establish record-keeping and documentation

Step 2: Understanding each option carefully.

• Option (A): Conduct a hazard analysis
This is the first and most fundamental HACCP principle. It involves identifying potential biological, chemical, and physical hazards.
• Option (B): Establish critical limit(s)
This is another core principle, where acceptable limits are defined for each critical control point.
• Option (C): Establish a system between government and Food Industry
This is NOT one of the seven HACCP principles. While coordination between government and industry is important for regulation and implementation, it is not formally part of HACCP principles.
• Option (D): Establish a system to monitor control of the critical control points
This corresponds to the monitoring principle of HACCP.

Step 3: Identifying the incorrect option.
Since the question asks for the option that is NOT a HACCP principle, we must select the one that does not belong to the standard list. Final Conclusion:
“Establish a system between government and Food Industry” is not a HACCP principle. Hence, the correct answer is option (3).
