Abstract

Evidence may reveal that the food operation is not or has not been in control and that corrective action is needed. This focuses corrective actions for microbiological hazards when deficiencies in HACCP or GHP identified, or when information from the marketplace indicates a potential issue. Options for disposition of questionable product, sub-lot testing consideration, and actions for repetitive loss of control are discussed.
