HACCP Step 6
HACCP Step 6: Verifying Your HACCP Plan – Ensuring It Works as Intended
A HACCP plan isn’t “set it and forget it.” Verification ensures the system is effective and being followed correctly.
Verification activities can include:
- Reviewing CCP monitoring records
- Conducting plant audits
- Calibrating instruments
- Confirming corrective actions were effective
Verification provides assurance that your food safety program works in real life—not just on paper. It’s a way of asking: “Are we doing what we said we’d do, and is it keeping food safe?”
Without verification, even the most detailed HACCP plan may fail to deliver real results.
