Starbucks Food Safety Practice Exam

Which of the following is NOT one of the seven principles of HACCP?

1. Identify hazards

2. Determine Critical Control Points

3. Create a marketing plan

4. Monitor CCP

The correct answer is: Create a marketing plan

The correct choice is the one that identifies a principle that is not part of the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) framework. The HACCP system is designed to ensure food safety by identifying and managing potential hazards in the food production process. The seven principles of HACCP include identifying hazards, determining critical control points (CCPs), establishing critical limits, monitoring CCPs, taking corrective actions, verifying the system, and keeping records. Each of these principles focuses on the safety of food products rather than marketing strategies. Creating a marketing plan does not pertain to food safety or the management of hazards. Instead, it involves strategies to promote and sell products, which is outside the scope of the HACCP framework. Therefore, this choice clearly does not align with the food safety practices established by HACCP.
