ABSTRACT
The HACCP system, with its prerequisite programs is essentially a food safety management system. Many of the practices of the HACCP system are similar to the activities of a quality management system, which has been covered in Chapter 3; however, the practices of the HACCP system are devoted specifically to the safety requirements of foods. Since food safety is a specific component of food quality, a food company’s HACCP system can be integrated within its quality system activities.
