Management must be fully committed to the HACCP idea for a successful implementation of a HACCP plan. Top management's unwavering commitment to HACCP instills in company personnel the importance of creating safe food. HACCP is intended for use in all aspects of the food industry, including growing, harvesting, manufacturing, manufacturing, distributing, marketing, and food preparation.

Food Additive may be a substance that is not consumed as a food by itself, but is added to food to boost its functional, physical and sensory attributes or to preserve it. Quality Assurance (QA) is the process of planning, documenting and agreeing on a collection of guidelines that are necessary to prevent contaminants from entering into the food right from the procurement of raw materials to the distribution of the finished product. Quality Control (QC) refers to all activities that are designed to determine the level of quality of the delivered food product. It invo...
