Food Service & Distribution - Food Safety, Basic Overview
It’s estimated that more than 76 million cases of foodborne illness – including 325,000 hospitalizations and 5,000 deaths – occur annually from foodborne illness. Infected restaurant employees were identified as a contributing factor in more than 65% of U.S. foodborne illness outbreaks in restaurants. With numbers as high as these, it’s clear that food safety – taking the right precautions to make sure the food we serve and eat is not contaminated – is critically important.
Course Length:
35 Minutes
Learning Objectives:
The primary causes of food contamination Best practices for preventing food contamination
Course Languages:
Food Service & Distribution - HACCP - Principle 1: Conduct a Hazard Analysis
Every segment of the food industry is tasked with ensuring the conditions necessary to protect food while it is under their control are in place. Food processors, distributors and food service organizations address food safety through the adoption of principles outlined in HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points). This course covers the preliminary activities and the all-important first step or principle in developing a HACCP plan – conducting a hazard analysis.
Course Length:
28 Minutes
Learning Objectives:
Prerequisite programs (e.g., sanitation, storage, maintenance) Preliminary steps to developing a HACCP plan Hazard analysis purpose and objectives Hazard analysis stages
Course Languages:
Food Service & Distribution - HACCP - Principle 2: Determine the Critical Control Points
After completing a hazard analysis, the second principle in developing a HACCP plan is to evaluate the product processing steps and identify the critical control points (CCPs). These points are a critical moment, procedure or step in a process at which time control can be applied to eliminate or prevent a food safety hazard, or reduce it to an acceptable level.
Course Length:
26 Minutes
Learning Objectives:
CCP characteristics and considerations Controlling significant food safety hazards Use of decision trees Questions to help determine CCPs
Course Languages:
Food Service & Distribution - HACCP - Principle 3: Establish Critical Limits
The third principle in developing a HACCP plan involves establishing the critical limits associated with each critical control point (CCP). Critical limits help distinguish between safe and unsafe operating conditions at a critical control point.
Course Length:
32 Minutes
Learning Objectives:
Critical limits versus target limits Establishing critical limits Critical limit implementation Critical limits and FDA requirements
Course Languages:
Food Service & Distribution - HACCP - Principle 4: Establish Monitoring Procedures
Monitoring procedures is the fourth principle in developing a HACCP plan. This step helps you assess whether a critical control point (CCP) is actually under control.
Course Length:
28 Minutes
Learning Objectives:
Purposes of monitoring Characteristics of effective monitoring procedures Types and frequency of monitoring procedures Monitoring forms and equipment Detecting deviations
Course Languages:
Food Service & Distribution - HACCP - Principle 5: Establish Corrective Actions
The fifth principle in developing a HACCP plan focuses on establishing corrective actions. These corrective actions should be designed to eliminate or correct the exceeded critical limits or deviations, identify the cause of the deviation as well as the ways to bring the critical control points (CCP) back under control, establish measures to prevent recurrence and prevent contaminated or hazardous foods from reaching consumers.
Course Length:
30 Minutes
Learning Objectives:
Main goals and elements of corrective actions Corrective action documentation Handling unanticipated deviations Example corrective actions
Course Languages:
Food Service & Distribution - HACCP - Principle 6: Establish Verification Procedures
When developing a HACCP plan, the sixth principle requires you to establish regular procedures for verifying each critical control point (CCP). Verification involves evaluation methods, procedures and tests to determine the conformance and effectiveness of the HACCP system. This evaluation confirms each CCP is being implemented effectively as outlined in your written HACCP plan.
Course Length:
29 Minutes
Learning Objectives:
Three categories of verification Verification requirements Examples of verification activities Verification reports
Course Languages:
Food Service & Distribution - HACCP - Principle 7: Establish Record-Keeping and Documentation Proced
As a final principle in developing a HACCP plan, you must establish record-keeping and documentation procedures for each critical control point (CCP) as well as the entire HACCP plan. There is a distinction between the two – record-keeping is a record of the process “results” and documentation describes processes as well as the establishment of these processes.
Course Length:
28 Minutes
Learning Objectives:
Reasons for documentation and record-keeping Documentation and record-keeping requirements HACCP plan summary table Documentation and record-keeping examples
Course Languages:
Food Service & Distribution - HACCP Overview
Every year, about 76 million people in the United States become ill from pathogens in food. That's about one in every three people. Although most foodborne infections go undiagnosed and unreported, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) does provide this estimate. Note that these figures do NOT include the additional instances where people find foreign objects or other materials in their food. These numbers would be even higher if the Food and Drug Administration had not adopted a food safety program developed in the late 1950s for astronauts. That program focused on preventing hazards that cause foodborne illnesses by applying science-based controls at every critical point in the process involved with converting raw materials to finished products. This program is appropriately called Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points, or 'HACCP'.
Course Length:
33 Minutes
Learning Objectives:
Identify the three types of food safety hazards HACCP seeks to control Understand what is meant by 'active managerial control' Identify what HACCP is Recognize the seven principles of HACCP Understand why we need HACCP Identify the role that you may play in implementing a HACCP program
