Abstract

The occurrence of foodborne diseases continues to be a burden to developed and developing economies in the world. Globalization, changing consumer habits, emerging pathogens and antimicrobial resistance are adding pressure to food safety management systems. HACCP is globally recognized as a system that effectively control food safety hazards. However, its success depends on several factors such as proper implementation and maintenance and whether it is tailored towards control of hazards that are specific to a food business. Considering this, the effectiveness of any food safety management system must be continuously evaluated. Firstly, this chapter will introduce HACCP and its implementation requirements. Further, the challenges to successful implementation of a HACCP system are discussed as well as recent developments to HACCP system implementation. Lastly, tools that can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of a food safety management system that is based on the HACCP system are discussed.
