The Committee again endorses HACCP as an effective and rational means of assuring food safety from harvest to consumption. Based upon its review, the Committee made the HACCP principles more concise revised and added definitions included sections on prerequisite programs, education and training, and implementation and maintenance of the HACCP plan revised and provided a more detailed explanation of the application of HACCP principles and provided an additional decision tree for identifying critical control points (CCPs). The primary goal was to review the Committee's November 1992 HACCP document, comparing it to current HACCP guidance prepared by the Codex Committee on Food Hygiene. The National Advisory Committee on Microbiological Criteria for Foods (Committee) reconvened a Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) Working Group in 1995.
