Start with the flow diagram

A HACCP plan that survives an audit starts with an accurate process flow. Walk the line, not the SOP. Tag every step you touch, e.g. CCP vs PRP.

A defensible HACCP plan is short, current, and walked — not a binder nobody reads.

Keep the hazard analysis honest

List only the hazards reasonably likely to occur. Auditors trust a short, defensible analysis more than an exhaustive one nobody maintains.

A quick lethality check

function f0(tempsC: number[]): number {
  return tempsC.reduce((acc, t) => acc + 10 ** ((t - 121.1) / 10), 0);
}
