Hazard analysis and critical control points 危害分析重要管制点
(重定向自Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points)
Hazard analysis and critical control points or HA*** () is a systematic preventive approach to food safety from biological, chemical, and physical hazards in production processes that can cause the finished product to be unsafe, and designs measurements to reduce these risks to a safe level. In this manner, HA*** is referred as the prevention of hazards rather than finished product inspection. The HA*** system can be used at all stages of a food chain, from food production and preparation processes including packaging, distribution, etc. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) require mandatory HA*** programs for juice and meat as an effective approach to food safety and protecting public health. Meat HA*** systems are regulated by the USDA, while seafood and juice are regulated by the FDA. All other food companies in the United States that are required to register with the FDA under the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002, as well as firms outside the US that export food to the US, are transitioning to mandatory Hazard Analysis and Risk-based Preventive Controls (HARPC) plans.
