REHIS Hazard Analysis And Critical Control Point (HACCP) Practice Exam

When a CCP deviation happens, the priority is to restore control and prove the process is back in spec. The best answer covers the full, proper response: first document what occurred so there’s a clear record, then identify the root cause to prevent recurrence. Next, implement corrective actions aimed at stopping the deviation from happening again and, if any product was affected, decide whether reprocessing or disposal is needed. Finally, verify that the actions were effective and the process remains under control. This sequence ensures both safety and compliance, and keeps records that support traceability. Hiding the deviation from customers isn’t acceptable practice and erodes trust and safety. Discarding all products immediately without any investigation wastes resources and ignores the underlying issue. Ignoring the deviation and continuing production is dangerous because it risks producing unsafe products and violating HACCP principles.
