Is it true that each hazard must be controlled at a separate CCP?

  1. True

  2. False

  3. It depends on the hazard

  4. Only for high-risk hazards

The correct answer is: False

In a HACCP plan, it is not necessary for each hazard to be controlled at a separate Critical Control Point (CCP). A single CCP can be established to control multiple hazards, especially if those hazards are related to the same process step. The key aspect of HACCP is to identify significant hazards and determine the most effective way to control them, whether through separate CCPs or combined controls. This approach allows for more flexibility in managing food safety, efficiency in monitoring and verification, and resource management, particularly in complex food production processes. Overall, the focus should be on effective risk management rather than rigidly assigning each hazard to its individual CCP.
