Verification involves being able to confirm that HACCP elements are working properly. Which of the following is NOT a method used for verification? Correct Answer Performing a mock recall

Verification 

  • Verification in HACCP is those activities, other than monitoring, that determine the validity of the HACCP plan and that the system is operating according to the plan.
  • It is used to ensure that the product meets the given requirements or not.
  • This process is conducted by the Quality Control team.

Random sampling, Microbiological testing, Chemical testing are the methods used for verification, hence Performing a mock recall is the method of Validation.


Additional Information

HACCP or Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point

  • ​HACCP is a management system in which food safety is addressed through the analysis and control of biological, chemical, and physical hazards from raw material production, procurement, and handling, to manufacturing, distribution, and consumption of the finished product.
  • HACCP is one of the major tools for Critical Control Point systems.
  • It is an approach to food manufacture and storage in which raw materials and each individual step in a process are considered in detail and evaluated for their potential to contribute to the development of pathogenic microorganisms or other food hazards.

Seven steps of HACCP 

  1. Perform a hazard analysis
  2. Determine Critical Control Points (CCPs)
  3. Set critical limits 
  4. Establish a monitoring system 
  5. Establish corrective actions
  6. Establish verification procedures   
  7. Establish record-keeping procedures

In the question below, are given a statement followed by three courses of actions numbered I, II and III. On the basis of the information given, you have to assume everything in the statement to be true, and then decide which of the suggested course of action logically follow (s) for pursuing. Statement: Reliance Jio Infocomm, the most recent entrant in India’s telecom service sector, may be more adversely affected by the Supreme Court order curbing the use of Aadhaar than older rivals Vodafone Idea and Bharti Airtel. The apex court order disallowing telcos from using the faster Aadhaar-based verification system could slow the pace of subscriber additions significantly, potentially delaying the company’s plan to acquire a 50% revenue market share. The Mukesh Ambani-owned telco has been adding many more subscribers every month than its rivals.  Courses of action: I. Jio’s gross customer additions could decline in the coming months as the verification process will henceforth be a more cumbersome affair, which could also be a turn-off for potential new users who’ve been lately used to instant connectivity under the Aadhaar-based enrolment mechanism.  II. Customer verification expenses will increase in step with the volume of customer acquisition of telcos and so, stronger the monthly user additions, higher the associated verification costs.  III. The more tedious verification process henceforth is also likely to slow down the processing of porting requests from customers.
