Set of inspection items required for the hygiene management of "water used" in HACCP compliance.

Set of inspection items required for the hygiene management of "water used" in HACCP compliance.

Is water quality testing for "used water" being conducted? When carried out, selecting an appropriate set of testing items for each facility is key to hygiene management.

On June 13, 2018, a law amending part of the Food Sanitation Act and others was promulgated, institutionalizing hygiene management in accordance with HACCP. The "hygiene management based on HACCP" and "hygiene management incorporating the principles of HACCP" conducted by each food business operator include "management of water used" as part of general hygiene management. The use of water that does not meet water quality standards may lead to contamination by foreign substances or food poisoning. Food business operators implementing "hygiene management incorporating the principles of HACCP" will conduct hygiene management based on guidelines created by various industry organizations. This time, we have created an introduction to a set of inspection items for used water based on the guidelines prepared for supermarkets. ◎ Please download and view from the "PDF Download" link below.
