CRITICAL CONTROL POINT( CCP)

A Critical Control Point( CCP) is an identifiable point in the production chain where a hazard may occur.

Action and / ore procedure is taken to prevent the hazard from occurring.

CCP may be identified when hazards can be prevented, for example pathogenic bacteria growth can be controlled by refrigerated storage or chilling.

CCP may be identified where hazards can be eliminated, for example pathogenic bacteria can be killed during cooking.
