Food Safety Plan/HACCP Plan

Reanalysis—A Critical Component of Verification

The Food Safety Plan/HACCP Plan is a living document that requires ongoing maintenance, including reanalysis at appropriate time intervals
Martin Bucknavage M.B.A., M.S. Kathy Gombas
October 11, 2022

Changes occur over time, and a company's food safety and HACCP plans must adapt to reflect these ongoing changes and any new information. This is where reanalysis comes in. Reanalysis is a critical component of the verification principle, where the plan is reviewed to ensure that it is accurate and applicable and that it reflects change and improved understanding.
