Since its development by The Pillsbury Company as part of the US space program, the HACCP
(hazard analysis critical control point) system has become the most important technique
for the identification and prevention of foodborne biological, chemical and physical
hazards in food processing.
HACCP in Meat, Poultry, and Fish Processing presents the latest information on the HACCP concept
and gives practical examples of its implementation at all stages of food production and
processing from the farm to the consumer.
In addition, guidelines are given for the management
of the HACCP system within the food industry and how it can be incorportated into a total
quality management program.
The role of predictive microbiology in HACCP is examined and the
relationship of HACCP principles to existing and future international agreements and regulations
is explained.
- provides the latest information on the HACCP concept and practical guidelines on how
it can be used to improve the microbiological safety of meat, poultry and seafoods
- details of international regulations governing HACCP are provided enabling
technologists to apply quality control programmes which conform to legal standards
- the first book to consider how predictive microbiology can be used in HACCP
