Oak State Products strictly enforces HACCP (Hazardous
Analysis of Critical Control Points) as an effective
and proactive measure of assuring food safety. The
seven basic principles encompassed in the program are: Hazard
analysis, CCP identification, establishing critical limits,
monitoring procedures, corrective actions, verification
procedures and record keeping/documentation.
If a deviation is detected, appropriate steps are taken immediately to reestablish control and assure potentially hazardous products will not reach the consumer. HACCP plans are constantly monitored and at least annually reviewed by a nine member cross-functional HACCP team. Employees monitoring CCPs are annually trained in the technique utilized to monitor each preventative measure or control. This training reinforces the understanding, purpose and importance of monitoring and accurately reporting/documenting activities and results. |
