Which action is part of the Documentation component of the HACCP Regulatory Process?

• A. Entering HACCP task results in PHIS
• B. Training staff
• C. Calibration of equipment
• D. Review of cleaning SOPs

Answer: (A)

Documentation in the HACCP Regulatory Process centers on capturing and preserving evidence that the plan is being followed. Entering HACCP task results into PHIS creates an auditable, time-stamped record of monitoring results, any corrective actions taken, and verification activities. This official data trail provides regulatory proof that the HACCP system is functioning as intended and supports traceability and accountability during audits.

Training staff, calibrating equipment, and reviewing cleaning SOPs are important operational activities—related to competency, equipment reliability, and sanitation procedures. They support the overall HACCP program, but the action of entering results into the official record system is the core documentation task.
