HACCP: Principle5 - Establish Corrective Actions ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Where there is a deviation from established critical limits, corrective actions are necessary. An important purpose of corrective actions is to prevent foods which may be hazardous from reaching customers. Therefore, corrective actions should include the following elements: a) determine and correct the cause of non-compliance, b) determine the disposition of non-compliant product, and c) record the corrective actions that have been taken. Specific corrective actions should be developed in advance for each critical control point and included in the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) plan. As a minimum, the HACCP plan should specify what is done when a deviation occurs, who is responsible for implementing the corrective actions, and that a record will be developed and maintained of the actions taken.
