True or False: Critical limits must have measurable numerical parameters.

  1. True

  2. False

  3. Depends on the parameter

  4. Only for physical parameters

The correct answer is: False

Critical limits in the context of HACCP must be established as measurable numerical values to ensure effective monitoring and control of food safety hazards. This means that parameters defining acceptable limits for temperature, time, pH, moisture, and other relevant factors should be quantifiable. Having measurable parameters is essential because it allows for objective data collection and analysis, enabling staff to determine whether a process is operating within safe limits. If a critical limit is not measurable, it can lead to ambiguity and difficulty in verifying that safety precautions are being adequately followed. The critical limits are part of the system's ability to ensure that products are safe for consumption, and without measurable limits, the effectiveness of the HACCP plan would be compromised.
