HACCP, GMP, SSOP
Traditionally, the safety of food products, such as meat and poultry, has been (and continues to
be) monitored through final product inspection. The Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP)
system was introduced in the 1990s. The food inspection process is being modernized (especially in the
meat and poultry area). The focus is on recognizing food safety problems earlier in the process. rather
than in the finished product, during the production or manufacturing process. The HACCP system was
created to offer safe food for people who don't have access to regular inspection system. The HACCP
concept, concentrates on food preparation processes. Rather than controlling the end product,
production is preferred. HACCP isn't a stand-alone system. Other programs, such as GMPs, SOPs, and
SSOPs, are used to supplement it.
The Food Safety Management System combines Good Management Practices, Hazard Analysis
and Critical Control Point (HACCP) concepts, and effective supplier verification and validation to ensure
that all steps are taken, recorded, and confirmed to assure safe food.
Other considerations in this system include preparing the HACCP team and effective recording
systems, as well as a mix of self-assessment with internal audits, management review, implementation
of all regulatory requirements, and supplier evaluation.
What is the significance of HACCP? HACCP is significant in food production because it prioritizes
and controls possible dangers. The food business can better convince consumers that its goods are as
safe as science and technology allow by controlling significant food concerns such as microbiological,
chemical, and physical pollutants. The preservation of public health is improved by lowering foodborne
dangers.
The basic operational and environmental conditions required to create safe foods are known as
Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs). They make certain that ingredients, products, and packaging
materials are handled safely, and that food is prepared in a safe atmosphere.
SSOPs, Safety Standard Operating Procedures are written procedures and standards that
describe how your business will safely handle and manufacture food. They record routine facility
activities to ensure that personnel carry out those tasks consistently and appropriately.
It is critical that the food and water we consume are both clean and safe. Germs (such as
dangerous microorganisms and parasites) can cause food poisoning if they get into our foods and drinks.
Therefore, following the HACCP, GMP and SSOP by the Pre and Post-Harvest and Food Manufacturing
Industry is very important to ensure public safety and wellness.
