Executive Summary
Various advisory Committees of food safety and health service inspect the product for
quality assurance. These committees’ endorses various efficient and rational means for assuring
food safety before consumption of that product. There are seven basic ethics that are employed in
the development plans to meet the goals declared to the consumers. These principles covers
monitoring of hazard analysis, identification of critical control points, establishing limits on
every critical point, monitoring actions taken, and most importantly verifying the procedure
undertaken and finally keeping the record and documentation of the entire plan. By following
this methodology whenever some deviation occurs in the plan indicating that control has been
lost steps can be re-established on timely manner so that hazards do not reach the market.

Introduction
Hazard analysis is a preventive measure for checking the food production from
biological, chemical and physical damage perspective so that food is safe to consume. Hazard
analysis designs modules to avoids risks and maintain food safety. On the other hand there are
some critical control points which helps in avoiding the hazards to happen rather than inspecting
the effects later on. In the whole analysis strategy food safety is addressed as the concern.
Hazard analysis is used at every phase from food preparation to food production. Public health is
a key concern and checking the quality of food is a necessity. This analysis is applied to every
food industry for assuring that quality food is delivered in the market. It is implemented from
initial segments at time of growing followed by harvesting, dispensation, manufacturing of
product also checking the quality at time of distributing and merchandising food for consumption
(Hughes, P. and Ferrett, E., 2015).

Basic Principal
Firstly, determining the hazard analysis plan and then listing all the preventive measures
that need to be taken at time of hazard to control the risk. Then identifying the procedure used in
manufacturing the product in this case taking in consideration to chicken wings, accordingly
deciding the critical control points to eliminate or reduce the risk factor. After deciding the major
critical control points it is necessary to set the maximum and minimum range to which the
hazards must be controlled. Further, monitoring the activities at each stage to ensure that product
is under control and it is not injurious to health (Pierson, M.D., 2012).
The hazard analysis team accomplishes that following objectives are meet. All hazards and their
respective control measures are identified; the needed modification in the plan is identified so
that safety of a product is increased. Sometimes the hazards are not evaluated before the
occurrence which increases the severity of the exposure. Understanding the seriousness of the
impact can help in knowing the magnitude and illness of injury (U.S. FOOD & DRUG, 2017).
Part 1 -Here undertaking a hazard analysis clearly indicating which measures are essential to the
safe production of BBQ Chicken Wings.
Strategy
HACCP system is accepted worldwide for food safety (Food Standard Agency, 2018).
Therefore it provides a complete way to identify the hazards and making sure that they are
controlled before causing any damage (Nada et. al., 2012).
The steps that need to be followed to develop an efficient strategy are:
BBQ chicken wings are served in high street providing the take away service to assure it doesn’t
cause any illness to the consumer and product is quality assured (Clifton A. Ericson, 2015).
PLAN
To make sure safety of food product is met. It is done by diminishing the chances of food
poisoning contaminating chicken. Proper concerns are taken on the sanitation process used in
preparation of chicken which can affect the people eating this. Therefore, roasted chicken as well
as finally served chicken is determined by microbiological quality (FoodProtection, 2018).
BBQ chicken is analysed in the course cooking process from thawing and cutting of
chicken that it is not cooked in poor utensils and equipment. To checking the composition of
nutrition’s of chicken to prevent foodborne diseases. This step is used to plan good hygiene in
food preparation to check pest control, cleaning management to wrapping and transporting the
chicken to the take away.
DO
Preventing injuries and accidents to happen and maintain a safe production for free
hazards. Identifying hazards and effectively eliminating or controlling them, will significantly
reduce exposure which may lead to injuries and illnesses. If hazard occurs there are various
techniques like using function failure Analysis or using event tree analysis.

CHECK
The outcome of the hazard analysis is documented in the report which provides the summary of
the process and methods used to check the safety measures (Garayoa, et. al., 2011). If in any case
hazard occurs the hazard list is checked and risk assessment steps are taken, based on the
assumption made during the analysis activity.
ACT
In this phase, steps are taken to overcome the hazard and return to the normal condition. By
checking the generated safety requirements further, taking actions how the hazards will be
avoided or mitigated (CA Software, 2018). Working on the management plans, operational
instruction so that safe food is served in the market.
PART2: Identifying the controls at each stage for food safety and also identifying the controls
for BBQ chicken
For identifying the control points following principals are used:
Principle 1 : Conduct a hazard analysis
Hazard analysis is the process of knowing the hazards that may ascend from a system or the
environment then documenting the unwanted consequences and examining their potential causes.
Checking biological containment that is sometimes illness is caused by the invisible organisms
such as bacteria or viruses. Even some chemicals that are not naturally fund can cause severe
illness so hazard analysis is done to take proper control actions to prevent food hazards.
Principle 2: Determine critical control points (CCPs)
The basis critical points are made of each food product, sometimes deviation from these critical
points may cause failure. Therefore a process is made to analysis information associated with the
food safety. The critical point can be termed as a step taken to control and eliminate food hazard
or reduce the risk to some acceptable level (Hughes, P. and Ferrett, E., 2012). Critical point is set
the thermal process of product like at what temperature the BBQ chicken should be deep fried,
what should be the minimum and maximum temperature foe heating the chicken in the cabinet
after it is cooked. All the ingredients of BBQ chicken are checked at the initial stage. A typically
temperature is decided for freezing the wings of chicken.
Principle 3: Establish critical limits
Critical points are established by setting their maximum and minimum range. If the processing of
a product is diverted from these critical points hazards can occur. Therefore, critical limits assure
that hazards are prevented to acceptable level. Limits are based on several factors such as time,
physical dimensions, temperature level, moisture concentration, amount of salt, chlorine, acidity,
viscosity.
For preparation of BBQ chicken the process is identified for healthy production. It
identifies the pathogens such as salmonellae, enteric pathogens. Future, control measure is taken
to reduce the enteric pathogens to avoid biological hazard. Checking on the heat resistance as
chicken is heated before it is served. Critical point limits are also checked for chicken thickness

and composition of the ingredients. Establishing the freezer temperature, speed of deep frying
and oven temperature is monitored.
Principle 4: Establish monitoring procedures
After setting and establishing all the critical points at each processing step, there comes a time
for monitoring the planned sequence. Checking weather all steps are going as per the plan. While
tracking the process if any deviation occurs which can lead towards loss of control, proper
actions are taken to bring the process back.
Principle 5: Establish corrective actions
For safe production of product it’s necessary to apply strategies to prevent or reduce the
occurrence of risk. Proper arrangements are taken are taken so that spoiled food doesn’t reach to
consumers (Washington University, 2018). This includes determining the correct reason of non-
compliance and also determining the nature of non-compliant product to record the corrective
movements that have been used.
Like in production of BBQ chicken proper plans are pre decided to be taken whenever
some deviations occur like when chicken is heated for a longer time, excess of some ingredients,
misbalance of biological and chemical factors.
Principle 6: Establish verification procedures
Additional to monitoring of the process it’s important to regulate the validity of the plan.
Maintaining the system on timely basis depends on the verification activities as it should be
revised periodically.
Critical control points for preparing BBQ chicken
Chicken samples are examined on the basis of counts of aerobic bacteria, microorganism
forming bacteria, yeast and moulds. Swab samples are also taken to check the hygienic
conditions; these samples are taken from kitchen surfaces, utensils, and equipment’s for
microbiological analysis (Yasmine Motarjemi, 2013).
While manufacturing the roasted chicken or frozen chicken, it is generally thawed at room
temperature (32 °C) and then chopped and mixed with flavour of sauces and other ingredients.
The pH value of chicken is kept between 4.81–4.98. The temperature for keeping the BBQ wings
in the freezer is kept between 4–6 °C in the refrigerator. After that frozen wings are deep fried
and then refrigerated chicken is roasted on the oven at 130 °C.
As the process stated in the assignment, the raw chicken wings before delivering to the take
away store are already frozen and coated with sauce. After that they are putted in the freezer and
cooked every morning. So, various measures are kept in concern to maintain the quality of
chicken before it is served to the consumers (Elsevier, 2018).
Inspection consists of two parts- the first phase involves gathering of information about the
hygienic state of utensils and equipment’s, checking the chef’s hygienic state and going
thoroughly through the procedure of food production and storage.
Part3: Stating how control points and critical control point relevant:

Hazard Analysis for Food Security 7
By setting control points we can prevent, reduce or eliminate hazard to an appropriate limit.
There is a difference between control point and critical control point. Control point is a stage in
which the flow of product can be controlled at any physical, chemical or biological hazard. On
the other hand critical control point is the last step where to prevent, eliminate or reduce a hazard
to a tolerable limit. Critical point is basically the last step after which the hazard can cause severe
damage (Rossvoll, et. al., 2012.).
Part 4 : Pre-requistes that are equally important along with hazard analysis
Prerequisite plans go hand in hand with HACCP system. Prerequisite program provides basis
conditions required to protect food (Ericson, C.A., 2015). They provide the pre some
environmental conditions for safe production and also lay down some guidelines so that a
hygienic food is served in the market. The effectiveness of the plan is checked at each step.
Conclusion
Food requires proper attention and care in order to keep it safe for consumption. The
consumption or flow of a product will increase when the product is purchased in the market.
So, maintaining the quality of food at time of purchasing, storing, preparing, cooking, holding,
cooling or re-heating is must before finally serving the product in the market. That means all the
necessary laws are met before the final delivery to enhance the reliability of product. It is also
concluded that checking and setting the critical control points of product is vital. If any deviation
occurs from these CCP, the item I rejected and is not floated for future steps.
