As indicated above, monitoring a finished food product is no guarantee of safety because unsafe samples may escape detection. What is needed is a more focussed approach toward controlling food safety. Such a programme is the Hazard Analysis Critical Point Control (HACCP) concept. HACCP is a structured approach to the identification, assessment of risk (likelihood of occurrence and severity), and control of hazards associated with a food production process or practice. HACCP addresses the root causes of food safety problems in production, storage, transportation, etc. and is preventative (FDA, 1994). It aims to identify possible problems before they occur and establish control measures at stages in production that are critical to product safety. One of the purposes of HACCP is to desing safety into the process, thereby reducing the need for extensive microbiological testing of inline samples and finished product (Silliker, 1995). Design and implementation of a HACCP system involves the well-known seven basic principles or steps (Stevenson & Bernard, 1999).
