CHA Safety Systems & Standards 2

Question 1

Which international standard provides a framework for food safety management systems that incorporates HACCP principles?

Accepted Answer

ISO 22000:2018

Answer

ISO 22000:2018 specifies requirements for a food safety management system and integrates HACCP principles with prerequisite programs.

Question 2

In HACCP terminology, what does the term 'sensitivity' refer to when evaluating a monitoring procedure?

Accepted Answer

The proportion of true positives correctly identified by the test

Answer

Sensitivity in monitoring refers to the test's ability to correctly identify true positive results, ensuring hazards above critical limits are detected.

Question 3

Which regulatory body enforces HACCP requirements for seafood processors in the United States?

Accepted Answer

FDA Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition

Answer

The FDA's CFSAN enforces 21 CFR Part 123, which mandates HACCP for seafood processors in the US.

Question 4

A prerequisite program (PRP) differs from a CCP in that a PRP:

Accepted Answer

Manages general conditions and activities that support food safety

Answer

PRPs manage general environmental and operational conditions that support food safety, whereas CCPs target specific hazards with defined critical limits.

Question 5

When applying the decision tree during a HACCP study, if a control measure exists at a step but a subsequent step will eliminate the hazard, the current step is typically:

Accepted Answer

Not designated as a CCP for that hazard

Answer

If a later step adequately controls the hazard, the earlier step need not be designated a CCP for that specific hazard.
