How are corrective actions determined and implemented when deviations from critical limits occur?

When a deviation from a critical limit occurs at a critical control point (CCP), predetermined corrective actions must be implemented to address the deviation and prevent potentially unsafe or non-compliant product from reaching consumers. Corrective actions are determined during the development of the HACCP plan and are specific to each CCP and critical limit. The corrective action plan should outline the steps to be taken to identify the cause of the deviation, correct the process, prevent recurrence, and evaluate the affected product. First, the process should be immediately stopped to prevent further deviations. The cause....
