It contains the description of the food safety team, flowchart of activities, description of the stages of the process and the analysis of hazards and critical points of the process.
The HACCP is a global tool developed between the late 50 's and early 60, by a partnership between the NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) and the American food company Pillsbury. From that time on, HACCP went through a long evolution to the current years, where he became the major tool of reference on analysis, establishment and management and control of hazards in the food production chain.
HARPC (Hazard Analysis and Risk-Based Preventive Controls): is the hazard analysis and risk-based prevention measures handbook based on international standards of the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), the US Department of agriculture, which aims to get an increasingly tight control over food safety.
HARPC does not have the same extent as HACCP and has basic differences, despite having a similar conceptual basis. It was incorporated by the FDA as part of the requirements of the law of the FSMA (Food Safety Modernization Act), created on 04 January 2011, by President Obama, whose goal is to ensure the quality and safety of food supplied to the United States.
