Which of the following is NOT among the three monitoring objectives?

• A. Track control of the process
• B. Determine when the process has deviated from the CL
• C. Provide a written document to be used in verification
• D. Improve product color or flavor

Answer: (D)

Monitoring is about keeping the process under control and providing evidence for verification. The three monitoring objectives are: to track how well the process stays within its established control parameters; to detect when the process has deviated from a critical limit; and to provide a written record that can be used in verification of the HACCP plan. The statement about improving product color or flavor isn’t describing a monitoring action or a verification document; it’s a quality attribute outcome, not a method for monitoring process control or documenting its performance. Therefore, that option isn’t among the three monitoring objectives.
