Jack Grealish is an aspiring entrepreneur. During his undergraduate in UCLA, he worked in his father's business, which focused on selling specialized foods. He became fascinated with the food industry and find out more what it entails. His investigation has unveiled the landscape of the food industry. Furthermore, he discovered that the hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP) system implemented in the food industry was rather disjointed and could benefit from automation. He conducted a preliminary research about current HACCP development and determine to plunge ahead. Jack ponders about the possibility of integrating different pattern recognition methodologies in HACCP processes to improve the effectiveness of overall quality control at his company.

The responsibility of all food business operators is the prevention ofconditions that can lead to the development and spread of foodborne diseases.Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points HACCP (Hazard Analysis CriticalControl Point) has been identified as the most effective standardized approach thatreduces the risks of foodborne diseases and is therefore accepted by FAO (Foodand Agriculture Organization) and WHO (World Health Organization). Disinfection,disinsection and deratization (DDD) is just one of the prerequisite programmes inthe application of the HACCP system in the food industry. By implementing thesemeasures, manufacturers are closer to their ultimate goal which is a safe productof high quality. Measures of disinfection, disinsection and deratization are carriedout continuously and involve complex, carefully planned and complete proceduresfor destruction of microorganisms, insects and rodents. These measures require acombination of preventive and curative measures and they must be implementedin order to achieve the expected effects. Companies that implement DDD measuresmust have trained staff who understand the principles of HACCP and know how toapply these measures in a way that will not pose a risk to the end consumer.

AbstractThe practical implementation of hazard analysis and critical control point (HACCP) and in particular the definition of the critical control points (CCPs) in the food industry is usually a complex structured task. This is particularly the case of food enterprise, where quality/safety manager ability, knowledge of the production processes and ‘‘sensitiveness’’ is usually the discriminate for the proper identification and prioritization of risks. The same applies for the definition of causes which may lead to food safety hazards. This paper addresses the issues of how quality/safety managers can objectively and automatically implement the HACCP principles of hazard analysis in the application of HACCP, which is the identification of risk priorities and of the related CCPs. The proposed methodology combines decision tree analysis approach for the analytical decomposition of the relevant steps in the manufacturing process of ice cream.

Quality control is a major management function in foodservice systems. Quality is defined as a composite of microbiological, nutritional, and sensory attributes. The Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) concept is a preventive approach to quality control, emphasizing microbiological control and identifying process stages where loss of control could present a food safety risk. Applying this concept, which has been implemented in the frozen food processing industry. HACCP models were developed for quality control of entree production in conventional, cook/chill, and cook/freeze foodservice systems in three phases: identification of control points using flow diagrams, identification of critical control points, and establishment of monitors for control. Time-temperature was a critical control point throughout entree production in each of the models; parameters were established for time-temperature and continuous surveillance of time-temperature was the monitor for control. Equipment and personnel sanitation are critical control points which should be monitored using standards established by the foodservice system. Implementation of the HACCP system is recommended for foodservice operations. However, standards and monitors for control of critical control points must be established for each operation and based on their own system objectives, resources, and constraints.


The article examines the features of the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) system as a factor in food safety. The principles of HACCP, formulated in the ISO 22000: 2005 standard, in the Alimentations Commission Codex are compared, as well as in accordance with the Ukrainian regulatory document "Requirements for the development of food safety standards", approved by the Order of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine on October 1, 2012 No. 590. The comparison is carried out in order to establish the compliance of the Ukrainian HACCP system with the international rules, in particular the ISO 22000: 2005 standard. Shown, that the principles of the Ukrainian HACCP system generally comply with international standards, in particular ISO 22000: 2005. This means that the legislation of Ukraine guarantees that, in compliance with it, food products originating from Ukraine comply with international requirements for the control of its manufacture. The guarantee of this is the system of control measures that are provided for by the laws of Ukraine regarding compliance with the requirements of the HACCP system.

There are many hazardous operations that are associated with the preparation of foods in food markets and foodservice establishments. These hazards have been repeatedly documented as major contributing factors during investigation of outbreaks of foodborne disease. Risks vary depending on (a) the food source, (b) methods used to prepared foods, (c) conditions during storage and display, and (d) the interval between heating and consumption. Although many different foods are prepared in these operations, they can be classified into categories of foodservice systems and certain critical control points apply to each system. For example, cooking is a critical control point of Cook/Serve Systems; hot holding, as well as cooking, is a critical control point for Cook/Hold Hot Systems; chilling is a critical control point for Cook/Chill and Cook/Freeze Systems; and obtaining foods from safe sources and/or reheating, if applicable, are critical control points for Assemble/Serve Systems. The HACCP system provides several magnitudes of food safety assurance over that offered by traditional inspections for food market and foodservice operations.

This article presents the integration of lean 6S methodologies and hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP) in the food production sector. Through the study, it is seen that non-food industrial production is not very different from that of food and, in many cases, it assimilates protocols and ideas that are already working in the food industry; Such is the case of risk analysis, critical control points or hygiene, which are part of the food production protocol and, increasingly, of the industry in general. After the integrative analysis, the article proposes a common lean 6S - HACCP model, which can be used both in food production and in non-food industrial production.
