True or False: It is recommended that the record review be conducted by the individual who produced the record.

  1. True

  2. False

  3. Only if they are certified

  4. Not specified in the guidelines

The correct answer is: False

The statement that it is recommended for the record review to be conducted by the individual who produced the record is false. In HACCP practices, an objective assessment is crucial for ensuring the integrity and accuracy of the record-keeping process. Having the same individual review their work can lead to potential biases and conflicts of interest, which can compromise the effectiveness of the review. Independence in the review process is essential for maintaining an impartial perspective on the effectiveness of the critical control points and ensuring compliance with safety standards. Instead, having a separate individual or a designated reviewer perform the record review promotes accountability and reinforces the importance of accuracy and transparency in the HACCP system. This approach aligns with the HACCP principles that emphasize ongoing monitoring and verification, rather than allowing potential subjective influences from the record creators to cloud the review process.
