This research project will undertake a review of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) implementation in major meat-producing countries, highlighting any link to public health and identifying verification procedures.
Mandatory HACCP is now well established in the meat industry. However, the approaches to interpretation, implementation, evaluation and verification differ widely from country to country, and even within the European Union.
<p>Additionally, attempts to link HACCP implementation in meat production and improvements to public health also varies between countries.
<p>A review of unpublished and published information will provide the Food Standards Agency with information sourced from a wide range of individual experts and external sources worldwide that can be compared with the meat sector in the United Kingdom.
