Learn to implement hazard analysis and critical control points within an ISO 22000 framework, including HACCP, PRPs, and oPRPs for robust food safety management.
Define food safety and hazards under ISO 22000, cover biological, chemical, physical risks and allergens, and outline hazard assessment, PRPs, oPRPs, CCPs, and validation.
Explore key food safety terms from ISO 22000, including acceptable levels, action criterion, contamination, control measures, critical control points, critical limits, and the food chain.
Maintain high standards of food safety and quality by upholding hygienic conditions in premises, safe preparation and serving, and packaging that protects the consumer from harm.
Develop a solid understanding of hazard analysis and critical control points within the HACCP framework, and learn to view, develop, document, and verify HACCP plans, records, monitoring, and critical limits.
Define HACCP as an internationally recognized system for reducing food safety hazards by identifying hazards at specific points and applying critical control points.
Explore why HACCP is used to address rising awareness of foodborne illness and how industry-driven HACCP programs promote food safety.
Learn to build a HACCP system by implementing programs and housing plans, maintain a hygienic environment through good manufacturing processes for personnel, and identify and control hazards to acceptable levels.
Learn HACCP development principles from hazard analysis to identifying critical control points, establishing preventive measures, limits, monitoring, and corrective actions, supported by records and verification for food safety.
Form a food safety team to collect material characteristics, document hazard-analysis information, determine intended use and consumers, map processes with flow diagrams, and record regulatory requirements for HACCP certification.
Develop a haccp plan by identifying hazards, evaluating risk, and establishing critical control points within the food safety management system; seek outside expertise when needed.
Document and maintain records to show adherence to approved procedures. Demonstrate compliance with standards and support continual improvement of food safety management through policy, objectives, and process documentation.
Verify HACCP plan effectiveness through verification activities, validation of control combinations, testing, and scientific reviews; perform audits, environmental sampling, and visual inspections, with records reviewed by the food safety team.
Set up monitoring procedures at critical control points. Create a data analysis plan, assign equipment and responsibilities, and determine monitoring frequency and location to act on hazards.
Identify hazards and critical control points, establish specific critical limits for each CCP, set operational limits, and plan corrective actions to prevent or dispose of unsafe food products.
Establish preplanned corrective actions for each critical control point to control nonconforming products, ensure no unsafe product is released, and quickly identify and eliminate costs.
Clarifies HACCP concepts—CCPs, PRPs, and oPRPs—in ISO 22000, and demonstrates identifying critical control points and applying risk-based controls to protect consumers.
Identify potential hazards and assess their risk to determine appropriate control measures within the HACCP framework, ensuring food safety for the final consumer.
Explain ISO 22000 control measures, focusing on the step in the process where control is applied to prevent or reduce hazards, with Mississippi as a specific example.
Define prerequisite programs (PRPs) for food safety, including facility layout, cleaning and sanitizing, pest control, and personal hygiene. Identify measures to prevent cross-contamination and manage raw materials, storage, and distribution.
Explore operational prerequisite programs (oPRPs) as essential control measures from hazard analysis to reduce the likelihood of food safety hazards, with examples like cooking steps and metal detection.
Determine and apply control points and critical control points under ISO 22000, using hazard analysis and decision trees to select and monitor preventive control measures.
Identify, analyze, and assess hazards along the food chain within ISO 22000 HACCP, using preliminary information and documented information to set acceptable levels and controls.
Select and categorize appropriate control measures or combinations based on the hazard assessment to prevent or reduce significant food safety hazards to acceptable levels.
Explain establishing measurable critical limits and observable action criteria, monitoring for deviations, validating control measures, and maintaining documented information within CCPs, PRPs, and OPRPs under ISO 22000.
Ensure effective control of monitoring and measuring for prps and the hazard control plan. Calibrate and verify equipment, validate monitoring software, and maintain documented evidence of results.
This comprehensive online course is designed to provide food safety professionals, quality managers, auditors, and food industry stakeholders with a deep understanding of ISO 22000 — the international standard for food safety management systems (FSMS). Whether you're new to food safety or seeking to enhance your current knowledge, this course will equip you with the technical expertise and strategic insight required to implement and maintain an effective FSMS based on ISO 22000:2018. The course breaks down complex terminology, system requirements, and practical applications into easy-to-understand modules tailored for real-world implementation.
You will gain in-depth knowledge of the core components of ISO 22000, including Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP), Prerequisite Programs (PRPs), Operational Prerequisite Programs (oPRPs), and Critical Control Points (CCPs). Through clear explanations and real-world examples, you'll learn how to distinguish between these elements, integrate them into your organization’s processes, and ensure alignment with regulatory and customer food safety expectations. The course also provides insights into risk-based thinking, the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle, and how these elements enhance the resilience and responsiveness of your food safety system.
Practical and hands-on, the course walks you through hazard identification, risk assessment, control measure categorization, and how to structure a HACCP plan that meets ISO 22000 standards. You'll also explore tools for monitoring, verification, documentation, and continual improvement, along with how to prepare for successful audits and certification. Templates, checklists, and real case studies are included to bridge the gap between theory and implementation.
By the end of the course, you will be capable of designing, implementing, and maintaining an ISO 22000-compliant food safety management system tailored to your organization’s size, sector, and complexity. Whether your goal is certification, regulatory compliance, or boosting customer confidence, this course will provide the foundation and confidence you need to become a leader in food safety excellence.
