  15. 1. Assemble the HACCP team2. Describe the food3. Describe the intended use and consumers of the food4. Develop a flow diagram which describes the process5. Verify the flow diagram

  16. 6. Conduct a Hazard Analysis (HA). Prepare a list of all steps in the process where significant hazards occur and describe the preventive measures for aech hazard (Principle 1).7. Determine the Critical Control Points (CCP) (Principle 2).8. Establish critical limits.(Principle 3)

  17. 9. Establish a system to monitor each CCP (Principle 4)10. Establish the corrective actions (Principle 5). 11. Establish procedures for verification (Principle 6) 12. Establish record keeping and documentation (Principle 7)
