Question 1

During a HACCP audit, which document best demonstrates that a CCP monitoring frequency is scientifically justified?

Accepted Answer

HACCP plan with supporting hazard analysis data

The HACCP plan paired with the hazard analysis provides the scientific rationale for the monitoring frequency established at each CCP.

Question 2
