Activity and application information
HACCP controls biological, chemical and physical hazards rather than relying only on testing finished products. Start with composition, intended use, consumer groups and the production flow. State where storage, rework and outsourced operations enter and leave the plan.
Connecting practice and records
A list of critical control points cannot replace cleaning, personal hygiene, pest management and cross-contamination controls. Check the flow diagram during real production. If unpacking or holding is missing from the diagram, reconsider the hazards at that stage.
Example decision: a scope change
For each significant hazard, explain the control measure and why it is adequate. Every operation is not automatically a critical control point. When selecting a temperature step, define the critical limit, monitoring responsibility and how affected product will be isolated after a deviation.
Example decision: a scope change
A hypothetical business adds a holding step before packing cooked food to its flow diagram. The team evaluates its effect on hazards and existing controls without automatically declaring every new step a critical control point. Explain the control’s supporting evidence, monitoring owner and segregation of affected batches following a deviation. A satisfactory finished-product test alone does not establish that the changed flow is controlled.
Independent decision and consultancy
Kayra can advise on process review, planning and implementation records. Codex and FAO do not issue HACCP certificates to businesses. If an external certificate is requested, identify its assessment programme and issuing body separately. In Türkiye, food establishment registration/approval is a Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry procedure; consultancy or a private certificate does not replace it.
