Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) is a food safety management system designed to identify and control potential hazards that could harm food during its production, handling, and consumption. The system focuses on preventing biological, chemical, and physical hazards to ensure the safety of food products.
- Option (1) "Improving the taste of food products" is incorrect because HACCP is not designed to improve the taste but to ensure safety through hazard analysis.
- Option (2) "Analyzing food cost and pricing" is incorrect because HACCP does not address food costs; it is concerned with safety management.
- Option (4) "Managing inventory in food warehouses" is incorrect because HACCP is not focused on inventory management, but rather on ensuring food safety during production.
Thus, the correct answer is "Identifying and controlling potential hazards in food production."
