What is HACCP ? （Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points)

At first, HACCP was developed to secure the safety of space foods in USA in 1960’s.

HACCP is a systematic preventive approarch to food safety that addresses physical, chemical and biological hazards as a means of prevention rather than finished product inspection. HACCP is used in the food industry to identify potential food safety hazards, so that key actions, known as ｃritical control point can be taken to reduce or eliminate the risk of the hazards being realized. The system is used all stages of food production and preparation processes.

This method has gained international recognition and that it is recommended by CODEX committee that all countries should adapt to this practice. CODEX is a combined medium of the world health organization(WHO) and the united nations food agriculture organization (FAO).

One of the major advantages to HACCP is that the process helps to identify probable contami-nation points whthin the production and shipment process. The HACCP method recognize important management points for checking　(the precention, extinction, the decrease to permissible label) contamination and monitors on each point to detect anomalies within the whole cycle. In each point, we are able to remedy the problem immediately.
