  1. What is the purpose of a critical limit in a HACCP plan?

    Answer: To define the measurable maximum or minimum value that must be met at a CCP to control a hazard

    Critical limits are the measurable boundaries — like a minimum internal cooking temperature — that must be met at each CCP to ensure the hazard is effectively controlled.

  2. A HACCP plan requires cooking chicken to 165°F. The cook finds it only reached 155°F. What is the correct corrective action?

    Answer: Continue cooking the chicken until it reaches the required 165°F

    When a critical limit is not met, the corrective action is to continue cooking until the chicken achieves the required 165°F internal temperature.

  3. What is the role of verification in a HACCP system?

    Answer: To confirm that the HACCP plan is implemented correctly and achieving intended food safety outcomes

    Verification activities confirm that the HACCP plan is being followed as designed and is actually achieving the intended level of food safety protection.

  4. What must a food service establishment do when an FDA or USDA food recall is issued?

    Answer: Immediately remove the recalled product from inventory and follow all recall notice instructions

    Upon receiving a recall notice, food service establishments must immediately pull the affected product from service and comply with all recall instructions, including return or disposal.

  5. Who is responsible for ensuring a food service operation has an active food safety management system in place?

    Answer: The Person in Charge (PIC) or designated manager

    The Person in Charge (PIC) is responsible for ensuring the food safety management system is in place and that all staff follow proper food safety practices during their shift.

  6. What is the FDA Food Code?

    Answer: A science-based model set of food safety regulations that US states and localities may adopt as law

    The FDA Food Code is a model code providing science-based food safety guidance that state and local jurisdictions may voluntarily adopt and enact into law.
