Question

Accepted Answer

HACCP stands for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points. CAP refers to Corrective Action Plan.

HACCP is a systematic approach to identify, evaluate, and control food safety hazards.
It involves seven principles: conducting hazard analysis, determining critical control points, establishing critical limits, monitoring procedures, corrective actions, verification procedures, and record-keeping.
CAP is a plan developed to address and correct any identified non-conformities or deviations from established food safety standards.
It includes steps like identifying the problem, investigating the root cause, implementing corrective actions, and monitoring the effectiveness of those actions.
Example: HACCP is used in food processing plants to ensure the safety of products by analyzing potential hazards and implementing control measures.
Example: CAP may be created when a food product is found to be contaminated, and the plan outlines the steps to recall the product, investigate the source of contamination, and prevent future occurrences.
