A Food Safety Program is a ‘live document’ that outlines how a business will proactively identify and control food safety hazards when producing, manufacturing, or handling food. It’s designed and managed by a Food Safety Supervisor on behalf of a food business.Â
Food Safety Plan (FSP)should include the following:
- Identify all potential food safety hazards that may be reasonably expected to occur in the food business’ operations
- Identify solutions for controlling these hazards
- Include daily records that demonstrate regular measurement and observation for each of the controls
- Provide procedures for corrective action when a hazard is found to not be under control
- Provide for the regular review of the program by the food business to ensure its adequacy
- Include a documented mechanism that outlines basic food safety procedures should the Food Safety Supervisor become absent
