HACCP is based on the following seven principles:

Principle 2: Identify the critical control points (CCPs)(in 1 above) that are critical for the safety of the products.
Principle 3: Establish critical limits that define the difference between a safe and unsafe product.
Principle 4: Establish a system to monitor control of CCP.
Principle 5: Establish corrective actions to be taken when a CCP is not under control.
Principle 6: Establish procedures to verify that the HACCP system is working correctly.
Principle 7: Establish documentation for all processes and steps.
