Beyond HACCP and Preventive Controls: Promoting True Risk-Based Thinking Tied to Public Health Outcomes
“Does this step require a preventive control?” This single box, found in most template hazard analyses, requires a yes or no answer. For all the food safety benefits that Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) and preventive controls have brought us, maybe thinking of risk in a binary yes/no fashion has done us a disservice.

Their differences and the similarities aren’t as important as the way they fit together for most food processors.
