HACCP & SPC
• The emphasis of food safety regulatory agencies must continue
to be on prevention, reduction, or elimination of foodborne
hazards along the food production, processing, and distribution
continuum, rather than on inspection of the end product.
• Statistical Process Control linked to continuous improvement
must be part of food safety regulations. The concept of
“continuous improvement” is central to food safety.
