INTRODUCTION It is the policy of Outcomes First Group that food safety is maintained to the highest standards throughout all Outcomes First Group establishments, and to ensure that all food production and service complies with current food safety regulations. Outcomes First Group has a legal obligation to ensure good food safety are maintained and to ensure that catering activities comply with current food safety legislation, including Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 and the Food Hygiene (England & Wales) Regulations 2006. 2. USE OF HACCP CHARTS Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) charts assist you to recognise the concerns that are important to food safety, what can go wrong and what you must do to prevent it occurring. The information contained in the HACCP Charts is an important part of your HACCP based system. The HACCP Charts are arranged in an accepted way for each process step found in a typical catering business. For example, the first process step will undoubtedly involve the purchase. 1
The HACCP Charts in this manual handle only the hazards that emerge at Critical Control Points (CCPs) within the catering process. For example: Refrigerated Delivery of Cooked/Ready-to-eat Food IS a Critical Control Point because if ready-to-eat food is already with dangerous bacteria which could multiply, then no later step will destroy them. However, Refrigerated Delivery of Raw Chicken Still to be Cooked IS NOT a Critical Control Point because although raw chicken may be by dangerous bacteria, the bacteria will normally be destroyed later on by suitable cooking. Note Cooking raw chicken is a Critical Control Point. (Refer to the Introduction Section of this manual for more information on Critical Control Points (CCPs)) Which HACCP charts are appropriate? This manual includes the HACCP charts relevant to the entire group. Dependent upon your type of site, you will need to identify which charts are relevant to you (i.e. a Commercial kitchen or Residential unit). Any charts which are not appropriate to your business can be removed. How to use the HACCP charts 1. Refer to the Flow Diagram in the next sub-section of this manual; this will help you recognise all the process steps in your business. There is a HACCP Chart in this section for each process step. 2. Read the contents of the relevant HACCP Charts, which will specify which Food Safety pertain at each process step. To make this task simpler, Link Boxes have been provided at the bottom of each HACCP Chart specifying the Food Safety pertinent to each process step. For Example, the Link Box on the 'Purchase, Receipt/Delivery, Collect' HACCP Chart contains the following: Food Safety References Training, Cleaning, Temperature Control, Prevention and Stock Control 3. The Food Safety pertinent to 'Purchase, Receipt/Delivery, Collect' are Training, Cleaning, Temperature Control, Prevention and Stock Control. In the Food Safety Section of the manual, you will see that there will be a sub-section for each of these subjects. In each of these sub-sections you will be shown how you accomplish each of these subjects in your business. 4. The HACCP Charts show you the records which are pertinent to your business. These can be found in the Records Section of this manual. 5. Study the Corrective Actions listed in the HACCP Charts for each process step and make sure they are suitable for your business. 6. If you perform a process step in your business not covered in the HACCP Charts, a HACCP Chart template can be found at the end of this section for your use. 2
ONCE YOU HAVE READ ALL THE HACCP CHARTS THAT ARE PERTINENT TO YOUR SITE, COMPLETE AND SIGN THE HACCP CHART SECTION OF THE TRAINING RECORD. 2.1 HACCP FLOW DIAGRAM The following page contains the flow diagram relevant to the organisation, whether that is in a commercial kitchen or a residential unit. The diagram highlights the key stages safety required within your business, from the delivery and receipt supplies, through to the final service of prepared meals to residents and customers. Read through the diagram to identify the different stages. All the stages have corresponding (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) HACCP charts, which highlight the associated hazards at that stage, and the necessary controls required to maintain food safety. In the event that your processes change, you must notify your manager, in order to update the flow diagram and incorporate any new HACCP charts and procedures as relevant. 3

NOTE 2 - It may not be realistic to check the core temperature with a thermometer on every occasion food is cooked. Another system of checking may include: Following an established cooking practice (time/temperature formula) and always keeping to the same cooking conditions. (Consult the Temperature of this manual) ADVICE ON EGGS - Eggs can carry dangerous bacteria inside and on their shells. As a result, eggs have to be handled carefully. Caterers cooking for susceptible people are recommended to use pasteurised eggs for all dishes that will be eaten raw or lightly cooked. 11
