How much authority is given up by the regulatory agency when HACCP is adopted?
None. The regulatory agency retains its authority and responsibility for oversight to verify that food is manufactured according to the firm’s HACCP plan and is handled in such a way that its safety is assured. • What are the advantages of adopting the HACCP System? A: Safety is enhanced by a proactive approach of continuous monitoring of food safety controls and documentation of results and corrective actions. This monitoring takes place in “real time” rather than a reactive, after-the-fact approach. • How does HACCP enhance food safety? A: HACCP requires monitoring to reveal when food safety limits have been violated. This results in taking corrective actions to reinstate control and through documented procedures to prevent recurrence. The operation of the system is constantly verified. • What is the regulatory agency’s role in HACCP? A: As noted previously, regulatory authority and responsibility for oversight in the safety of food have not changed, but HACCP allows more flexibility
