What is HACCP?
HACCP stands for Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point. It is a food safety system of procedures and programs designed to help you and your employees avoid foodborne illnesses from occurring in your establishment. It does this by actively monitoring and controlling the safety of food to prevent, reduce and eliminate biological, chemical or physical hazards in each point in the flow of food. It is a written plan specific to each establishment's menu.
Who requires a HACCP Plan?
Check your local jurisdiction's laws. Since November, 2008, Maryland, as per COMAR 10.15.03, a HACCP Plan is required before opening a high or moderate priority food facility and will be checked every 5 years to confirm the HACCP plan corresponds with the current menu and equipment utilized. If you have been in business for a long time and did not have to write a HACCP plan in the past, you may now be asked to comply with this requirement.
How do you write a HACCP plan and can I write one myself?
Yes, you can write your own HACCP plan; Instructions from the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene .
