What Is Critical Control Point (CCP)?
A Critical Control Point (CCP) is a step in a HACCP system at which control can be applied to prevent, eliminate or reduce a hazard to an acceptable level. Typical CCPs in the cold chain are fridge and cold-room temperatures, refrigerated vehicle cargo-area temperature, and cooking / freezing thresholds.
How Does Critical Control Point (CCP) Work?
Whether a step is a CCP is determined by a 'decision tree': if I don't apply control here, will the hazard occur? If yes, and no downstream control can prevent it, this is a CCP. For each CCP, a measurable critical limit (e.g., below +8°C), monitoring frequency, corrective action and recording procedure is defined. Continuous monitoring is typically required for temperature.
