A REGULATOR’S GUIDE: Validation and Verification of HACCP Plans in Retail Food Establishments
The overall goal of this guidance document is to assist regulators with identifying specialized processes or operations that require a variance and/or a HACCP plan when conducted in a retail food establishment. It should also help explain the administrative provisions in The Food Code that addresses variance requests, contents of a HACCP plan, and conformance with approved procedures for mandated HACCP plans. This document should also prepare regulators to identify hazards and control measures when conducting HACCP plan validations and field verifications in retail food establishments using The Food Code, as well as other government, academic, and scientific information.
