HACCP Plan – Raw, ground; PizzaDirections for Use of the Hazard Analysis Form1. Make sure that every step shown on the Process Flow Diagram is entered in theHazard Analysis Form. Make sure that each step has the same name and number inboth the Process Flow Diagram and the Hazard Analysis Form.2. Check the three categories of hazard (Biological, Chemical, Physical) shown for eachstep.a. If you think a listed hazard is not reasonably likely to occur, leave it in column2 (Food Safety Hazard) and enter “No” in column 3 (Reasonably likely tooccur?). Then provide a reason in column 4.b. If you think there are no relevant hazards for a particular category, deletethe listed and hazard and write “none” in column 2, write “No” in column 3, andcross out any information in columns 4 – 6.c. If you think that a relevant hazard should be added at a step, describe thehazard in column 2 (Food Safety Hazard). Then determine whether thehazard is reasonably likely to occur and put the answer in column 3. Thenprovide, in column 4, a reason for deciding whether or not the hazard isreasonably likely to occur.i. For example, following an SSOP, SOP, or approved formulation maymake a hazard unlikely to occur, or a supplier may provide a letter ofguarantee stating that the hazard should not be present.ii. On the other hand, a history of outbreaks or contamination related to ahazard would mean that the hazard IS reasonably likely to occur.Columns 5 and 6 can be left blank if a hazard is NOT reasonably likely tooccur.If the hazard IS reasonably likely to occur: fill in columns 5 and 6.iii. In column 5, list measures that could be applied to prevent, eliminate,or reduce the hazard to an acceptable level. NOTE: at least one ofthese measures must be either a Critical Control Point (CCP) at thepresent step, or a CCP at a later step.iv. Finally, if the hazard is controlled by a CCP at the present step, enterthe CCP number in column 6. The accepted numbering system is tonumber the CCP’s in order, followed by either B, C, or P to indicate whattype of hazard is being controlled. For example, if the 2nd CCP in aprocess controlled a physical hazard, it would be entered as CCP -2P.d. I f you agree that a listed hazard is relevant, no changes are necessary.12/02/05 version.

HACCP Plan – Raw, ground; PizzaDirections for Using the HACCP Plan Form1. Examine your Hazard Analysis form to determine which steps are CCP’s and what type of hazard (Biological, Chemical, orPhysical) each CCP controls.2. Check to see whether each CCP is already listed on the HACCP Plan Form. If a CCP is not already listed, enter the CCPnumber and step in the column labeled “CCP # and Location”.3. For CCP’s already listed on the model form, examine the Critical Limits listed. In the HACCP Plan Form for some HACCPcategories there will be several options for Critical Limits. If this is the case, choose the Critical Limits that will work best inyour plant and cross out, white out, or delete the other Critical Limits and the Monitoring Procedures that go with them. It maybe helpful to check the “Monitoring Procedures and Frequency” column during your decision-making. For CCP’s already onthe model form, supporting scientific documentation is already included in your manual.4. If you are adding a new CCP, you will need to determine the scientifically valid Critical Limits to be used with the CCP. Youmust also obtain scientific information supporting your choice of Critical Limits. Consult your inspector or universityextension specialists for help.5. Examine the “Monitoring Procedures and Frequency” column for each CCP. If you wish to change the procedure and/or thefrequency, check with your inspector or a university extension specialist for help. If a change is OK, you will need to writedown your reasoning for making the change and include this reasoning in your HACCP manual.6. Examine the “HACCP Records” column. If you are using different forms for record-keeping in this HACCP Plan, please putthe correct form title(s) in the “HACCP Records” column.7. The verification activities listed in the “Verification Procedures and Frequency” column are required by the regulation.However, you may choose to do additional activities; for example, for verification, beef jerky samples may be sent to the labeach quarter for water activity and Moisture : Protein Ratio testing. If you do any additional verification activities, enter themin the “Verification Procedures and Frequency” column. If you choose to use a frequency for the required verificationactivities that is different than the frequency shown, you must provide written justification for the different frequency. Consultyour inspector or university extension specialists for help.8. We suggest that you make no changes in the “Corrective Actions” column. Be sure to have a form for documenting correctiveactions that you take. A corrective action form is included in this model.12/02/05 version. Supersedes all previous versions.

HACCP Plan – Raw, ground; PizzaSOP for Calibration of ThermometerProcessor or designee will calibrate the thermometers prior to use by following thespecifications of the manufacturer of the equipment (this will vary) or the followingprocedures.Each thermometer will be assigned an ID number.Thermometers intended for measuring higher temperature items, such as cooked product,will be calibrated in hot water, while those used for taking lower temperatures will becalibrated in ice water. All thermometers will be calibrated within or – 2 degrees F.Thermometers in use will be checked against a certified thermometer during calibration, ifavailable. Otherwise, all thermometers will be calibrated either against each other, oragainst a thermometer that is used only during calibration. The latter methods wouldrequire at least three thermometers for accuracy. Dial thermometers will only becalibrated (and used!) on one end of the range of use, e.g. either the hot end or the coldend. This practice is followed to assure accuracy.Calibration with ice water:1. Add crushed ice and water to a clean container to form a watery slush.2. Place thermometer probe into slush for at least one minute, taking care to not letthe probe contact the container.3. If the thermometer does not read between 30 degrees and 34 degrees F., adjustto 32 degrees. Nonadjustable thermometers will be removed from use until theyhave been professionally serviced. Thermometers that have been adjusted for 3consecutive months will be replaced.4. Record the results, using actual values, on the thermometer calibration log, alongwith the date and initials of the person performing the calibration procedure.Calibration with hot water:1. Heat a clean container of water to a temperature in the range of cookedproducts. Running clean water through the coffee maker gives a watertemperature of approximately 145 degrees F. Another option is to bring a cleancontainer of water to a rolling boil.2. Place the thermometer probe into the hot water, along with the certifiedthermometer and/or reference thermometer, or at least two other12/02/05 version. Supersedes all previous versions.

If the test thermometer does not read within or – 2 degrees of the referencethermometer, adjust accordingly. If three thermometers are used and onethermometer differs from the other two by more than 2 F, that thermometershall be adjusted or removed from use. If all three thermometers differ fromeach other by more than 2 F, a reference thermometer must be used or eachthermometer must be calibrated against vigorously boiling water (212 F).Nonadjustable thermometers will be removed from use until they have beenprofessionally serviced. Thermometers that have been adjusted for 3consecutive months will be replaced.4. Record the results, using actual values, on the thermometer calibration log, alongwith the date and initials of the person performing the calibration procedure.Thermometers that cannot be easily calibrated through direct immersion in either icewater or hot water can be calibrated by comparing readings with another calibratedthermometer. Thermometers that may be calibrated in this way include smokehouseprobes and room temperature thermometers. When doing this, a recently calibratedthermometer will be used as the reference. Room temperature thermometers that areoutside the or – 2 degree F range will be replaced. Smokehouse probes that are outsidethe or – 2 degree F. range will be professionally serviced. Results will be recorded, usingactual values, on the thermometer calibration log, along with the date and initials of theperson performing the calibration procedure.Thermometers will be calibrated at a frequency dependent on production volumes, and useof monitoring CCP values or SOP values. Any thermometer that has been dropped orabused will be taken out of service until it has been recalibrated.
