  3. An accurate analysis of hazards is necessary for an effective HACCP plan Involves technical and scientific expertise in various domains Hazard analysis must be reviewed when there is any change in Raw materials Formulation Processing procedures Packaging Distribution Use Importance of hazard analysis Module 4.6 – List Potential Hazards;Conduct Hazard Analysis; Consider Control Measures(Task 6 / Principle 1)

  4. The first step in the development of a HACCP plan is the identification of all potential hazards Biological, chemical and physical At all stages from raw material to consumption Potential hazards Module 4.6 – List Potential Hazards;Conduct Hazard Analysis; Consider Control Measures(Task 6 / Principle 1)

  5. Biological hazards include Bacteria and mould (spore-forming) Bacteria (non-spore forming) Viruses Protozoa and parasites Biological hazards Module 4.6 – List Potential Hazards;Conduct Hazard Analysis; Consider Control Measures(Task 6 / Principle 1)

Commonly associated with humans and with raw products entering the food process Most have the potential to increase spontaneously if control measures are inadequate Usually killed or inactivated by heat processing Fungi include moulds and yeasts Some fungi are beneficial Others produce toxic substances (mycotoxins) Biological hazards Module 4.6 – List Potential Hazards;Conduct Hazard Analysis; Consider Control Measures(Task 6 / Principle 1)

  7. Chemical hazards include: Naturally occurring chemicals Added chemicals (intentional and unintentional) Chemical contaminants may occur at levels that cause Acute illness Chronic illness Chemical hazards Module 4.6 – List Potential Hazards;Conduct Hazard Analysis; Consider Control Measures(Task 6 / Principle 1)

  8. Examples include Glass, wood, stones, metal, plastic, etc Hard or sharp foreign objects can cause injury Poor practices at many points along the food chain can lead to the introduction of physical hazards Physical hazards Module 4.6 – List Potential Hazards;Conduct Hazard Analysis; Consider Control Measures(Task 6 / Principle 1)

  9. Sources of information for hazard analysis include Reference texts Company complaints file Scientific research and review papers Epidemiological data Web pages dealing with food safety issues Hazard analysis Module 4.6 – List Potential Hazards;Conduct Hazard Analysis; Consider Control Measures(Task 6 / Principle 1)

  10. Objective To determine which hazards need to be addressed under an effective HACCP plan Overview of approach Review incoming material Evaluate processing operations Observe actual operating practices Take and analyse measurements Hazard analysis Module 4.6 – List Potential Hazards;Conduct Hazard Analysis; Consider Control Measures(Task 6 / Principle 1)

  11. Review product description form (Form 1) for information that could influence the analysis of hazards Is it ready-to-eat or is further processing envisaged? Is it intended for a vulnerable group? For each incoming material (Form 2) write ‘B, C or P’ directly on the form to indicate the nature of all potential hazards Review incoming material Module 4.6 – List Potential Hazards;Conduct Hazard Analysis; Consider Control Measures(Task 6 / Principle 1)

  12. There is wide variation in practices (on-farm and throughout the marketing chain) that can influence the analysis of hazards in incoming raw material Review of incoming raw material Module 4.6 – List Potential Hazards;Conduct Hazard Analysis; Consider Control Measures(Task 6 / Principle 1)

  13. Review incoming material Potential hazards identified on Form 2 should be fully described on Forms 5, 6 and 7 Module 4.6 – List Potential Hazards;Conduct Hazard Analysis; Consider Control Measures(Task 6 / Principle 1)

  14. Incoming material –biological hazards (Form 5) (For discussion only) Module 4.6 – List Potential Hazards;Conduct Hazard Analysis; Consider Control Measures(Task 6 / Principle 1)

  15. Incoming material –chemical hazards (Form 6) (For discussion only) Module 4.6 – List Potential Hazards;Conduct Hazard Analysis; Consider Control Measures(Task 6 / Principle 1)

  16. Incoming material –physical hazards (Form 7) (For discussion only) Module 4.6 – List Potential Hazards;Conduct Hazard Analysis; Consider Control Measures(Task 6 / Principle 1)

  17. Sample questions that guide the identification of potential hazards Could pathogenic organisms, toxins, chemicals or physical objects possibly be present on this material Are preservatives or additives used in the formulation to kill or inhibit growth of organisms Are any ingredients hazardous if used excessively or in adequate amounts Do moisture content and Aw in final product or ingredients affect microbial growth? Hazards in incoming materials Module 4.6 – List Potential Hazards;Conduct Hazard Analysis; Consider Control Measures(Task 6 / Principle 1)

  18. Objective Identify all realistic potential hazards related to each processing operation, the product flow and employee traffic patterns Review process flow diagram (Form 3) and plant schematic (Form 4) Evaluating process operations Module 4.6 – List Potential Hazards;Conduct Hazard Analysis; Consider Control Measures(Task 6 / Principle 1)

  19. Assign a number to each processing step on Form 3 Examine each step and identify potential hazards (B, C, P) Use plant schematic to assist in identification of potential hazards Hazards associated with process steps Module 4.6 – List Potential Hazards;Conduct Hazard Analysis; Consider Control Measures(Task 6 / Principle 1)

  20. Could contaminants reach the product during this operation? Could micro-organisms of concern multiply to the point where they constitute a hazard? Analysing process steps – guiding questions Module 4.6 – List Potential Hazards;Conduct Hazard Analysis; Consider Control Measures(Task 6 / Principle 1)

  21. Process steps – Form 5: biological hazards Should be repeated for chemical and physical hazards (For discussion only) Module 4.6 – List Potential Hazards;Conduct Hazard Analysis; Consider Control Measures(Task 6 / Principle 1)

  22. HACCP team must be familiar with every detail of each operation Observe operation long enough to be confident of usual practices Observe employees Be attentive of the possibility of cross contamination after a kill step Identified hazards must be recorded on appropriate form Observe actual operating practices Module 4.6 – List Potential Hazards;Conduct Hazard Analysis; Consider Control Measures(Task 6 / Principle 1)

  23. Confirm actual processing conditions by taking measurements of important process parameters Physical properties of the product as Aw, temperature, pH, moisture content Residence time in processing steps Dimensions, volumes Storage conditions Be sure of accuracy of measuring devices Collect samples for microbial challenge studies if necessary Take measurements Module 4.6 – List Potential Hazards;Conduct Hazard Analysis; Consider Control Measures(Task 6 / Principle 1)

  24. Qualified individual must analyse and interpret data to determine impact or processing conditions on identified hazards For example, plot Aw / moisture content / temperature against time as indicated by the circumstances Compare Aw or pH values with ranges known to support microbial growth Estimate and evaluate cooling or thawing rates and determine influence on bacterial growth Evaluate shelf stability of the product Analyse measurements Module 4.6 – List Potential Hazards;Conduct Hazard Analysis; Consider Control Measures(Task 6 / Principle 1)

  25. Control measures are any actions and activities that can be used to prevent or eliminate a food safety hazard or reduce it to an acceptable level More than one measure may be required to control a specific hazard and More than one hazard may be controlled by a specified measure Control measures Module 4.6 – List Potential Hazards;Conduct Hazard Analysis; Consider Control Measures(Task 6 / Principle 1)

  26. Minimize contamination Prevent or minimize growth and toxin production using heating/cooling, low Aw, low Eh, high acidity, biological processes (e.g. fermentation), preservatives, etc. Pathogens risk is based on concentration, not just presence / absence Beware of possible concerted activity of more than one organism together Controlling biological hazards Module 4.6 – List Potential Hazards;Conduct Hazard Analysis; Consider Control Measures(Task 6 / Principle 1)

  29. Use information from hazard analysis to determine Severity of the hazard(s): Magnitude of consequences that result when a hazard exists (high, moderate, low, negligible) Risk of hazard(s): Probability of an adverse effect (high, moderate, low, negligible) Hazard assessment Module 4.6 – List Potential Hazards;Conduct Hazard Analysis; Consider Control Measures(Task 6 / Principle 1)

  30. Use information from hazard analysis to determine Which hazards should be addressed under HACCP plan Hazards of a low probability of occurrence and a low severity should not be addressed in HACCP plan but through GMPs The points or steps at which control could be applied to prevent eliminate or reduce hazards to an acceptable level (CCPs) Hazard assessment Module 4.6 – List Potential Hazards;Conduct Hazard Analysis; Consider Control Measures(Task 6 / Principle 1)
