In HACCP Verification task, what is Step 3-5 used to verify?

• A. The monitoring, verification, and recordkeeping requirements for all CCPs
• B. PRP implementation
• C. Pre-shipment review
• D. Product type selection

Answer: (A)

In HACCP, verification is about making sure the plan is actually working as written and continuing to control hazards at the critical points. Step 3-5 focus on confirming the run-time controls for every CCP are properly in place and functioning, and that the documentation around them is complete.

Specifically, these steps are used to verify the monitoring, verification, and recordkeeping requirements for all CCPs. This means checking that each CCP has a documented monitoring procedure, that monitoring results are reviewed and used to trigger corrective actions if limits are exceeded, and that records of monitoring and any verification activities are kept accurately and retrievably. This creates evidence that the CCPs are being watched, that the system is capable of detecting deviations, and that there is a trail showing ongoing compliance.

This isn’t about PRP implementation, pre-shipment review, or choosing product types; those fall outside the CCP verification focus addressed here.
