What is a Food Safety Plan?<br />

An FSP is designed to identify and prevent possible food safety problems (hazards) in order to<br />

enhance food safety. The problems may relate to <strong>the</strong> purchase, receiving, storage, preparation,<br />

cooking, packaging, transport or display of food.<br />

There are six elements in an FSP:<br />

1. List food safety problems (hazards) at each step of <strong>the</strong> food processing<br />

(e.g. purchase and receiving of food)<br />

2. Identify preventive measures and <strong>the</strong>ir control limits<br />

3. Establish monitoring procedures<br />

4. Establish corrective actions<br />

5. Keep records<br />

6. Check and review<br />

Appropriate implementation of <strong>the</strong> above elements, toge<strong>the</strong>r with <strong>the</strong> application of some<br />

basic practices (e.g. cleaning and sanitation, personal hygiene, pest control, waste disposal and<br />

staff training), will certainly prevent food safety problems during <strong>the</strong> food production.<br />
