When product variability is high, what is the recommended frequency of monitoring?

  1. Less frequent monitoring

  2. More frequent monitoring

  3. Monitoring only when issues arise

  4. Monitoring depends on other factors

The correct answer is: More frequent monitoring

In situations where product variability is high, more frequent monitoring is essential to ensure that critical control points are effectively managed. High variability can indicate that the process may be prone to changes that could affect the safety and quality of the product. By increasing the frequency of monitoring, you can quickly identify any deviations from established critical limits and implement corrective actions promptly. This proactive approach helps maintain product consistency and safety and minimizes the risk of potentially hazardous conditions going unnoticed. Frequent monitoring provides more data points for analysis and can assist in identifying patterns or trends that might require further attention, supporting the overall effectiveness of the HACCP system.
