Question 1

In HAS documentation, what distinguishes a 'Halal Critical Control Point' (HCCP) from a general Halal Control Point (HCP)?

Accepted Answer

HCCPs are points where loss of control would result in a halal breach, while HCPs are monitored preventive measures

Answer

A HCCP is a step where failure to maintain control would directly result in a product becoming non-halal, making it the most critical category of control points.

Question 2

A food manufacturer wants to use a shared transport truck for halal and non-halal frozen goods. Which HAS requirement must be met before the truck can be approved?

Accepted Answer

Answer

Shared transport requires a certifying-body-approved cleaning and segregation protocol that proves halal integrity is maintained before each halal shipment.

Question 3

Which HAS record is used to demonstrate the chain of halal custody from raw material receipt to finished product dispatch?

Accepted Answer

Halal Traceability Record

Answer

Halal Traceability Records link each batch of finished product back through production to raw material certificates, proving an unbroken halal chain of custody.
