Critical limits that match validation
Use limits from your validated process or applicable guidance — not guesswork. Equipment capability matters.
Monitoring methods
Probe the coldest spot, use cook charts, or validated oven programs. Record who monitors and how often.
Verification
Thermometer calibration, review of cook logs, and periodic validation support the CCP.
Draft this with HACCP Engine
