What is haccp and what significance was the implementation of haccp practices in the assurance of safe products?

HACCP, or Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points, is a systematic approach to identifying, evaluating, and controlling food safety hazards throughout the production process. Its implementation is significant as it helps ensure that food products are safe for consumption by proactively addressing potential risks before they can lead to contamination or foodborne illness. By focusing on critical control points, HACCP enhances food safety management, promotes industry accountability, and builds consumer trust in food products.
