Question

CCP in HACCP stands for:

• A. \(\text{Cross contact points}\)
• B. \(\text{Critical control points}\)
• C. \(\text{Critical contact points}\)
• D. \(\text{Critical certification points}\)

Hint:

CCP (Critical Control Points) help ensure food safety by controlling hazards at critical stages of food production.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding HACCP and CCP. - HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) is a food safety management system designed to identify potential hazards at critical points during food production. - Critical Control Points (CCP) are the stages where hazards can be prevented, eliminated, or reduced to safe levels.
Step 2: Explanation of incorrect options.
- Cross contact points (A): Refers to allergen contamination, but not related to HACCP.
- Critical contact points (C): Not a valid term used in HACCP terminology.
- Critical certification points (D): Incorrect term; no such classification in HACCP.
Step 3: Selecting the correct option. Since Critical Control Points (CCP) are vital in the HACCP system for ensuring food safety, the correct answer is (B) Critical control points.
