ESTABLISH CRITICAL LIMITS FOR EACH CCP (HACCP PRINCIPLE 3)
For each of the CCPs that have been determined, the HACCP team
must establish critical limits which will serve as the criteria for accepting
or rejecting a raw material or ingredient that is a CCP, or a semi-finished or
finished product that is obtained at a process step that is a CCP. A critical
limit is commonly a maximum value of a parameter that must not be exceeded or a
minimum value of a parameter that must be reached at a CCP. At a CCP, the
critical limits must be respected for the hazard to be prevented, eliminated or
reduced to an acceptable level, and therefore for the product obtained at the
CCP to be acceptable. If the critical limits at a CCP are not respected, the
product obtained at the CCP will not be acceptable.
Codex Alimentarius Critical Control Point Decision Tree
Question 1: Do preventive control measures exist?
(a) If the answer is Yes, go to Question 2.
(b) If the answer is No, is control at this step necessary
for the safety of the product?
(i) if the answer is No, this step is not a CCP; proceed to
the next identified hazard in the process
(ii) If the answer is Yes, modify the steps in the process
or the product, and return to start of Question 1.
Question 2: Is this step specifically designed to eliminate
or reduce the likely occurrence of the
hazard to an acceptable level?
(a) If the answer is Yes, this step is a CCP
(b) If the answer is No, go to Question 3.
Question 3: Could contamination with the identified hazard(s)
at this step, occur in excess of
acceptable level(s) or could these hazards increase to unacceptable level(s)?
(a) If the answer is Yes, go to Question 4
(b) If the answer is No, this step is not a CCP; proceed to
the next identified hazard in the
process.
Question 4: Will a subsequent step eliminate the identified
hazard(s) or reduce the likely occurrence to acceptable level(s)?
(a) If the answer is Yes, this step is not a CCP; proceed to
the next identified hazard in the process
(b) If the answer is No, this step is a CCP
