    A hazard is determined by what two factors? 

    • Liklihood and severity

    • Likihood and amount 

    • Time and severity

    • Time and amount of product involved

    Correct Answer
    A. Liklihood and severity
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "likelihood and severity." When determining a hazard, it is important to consider both the likelihood of the hazard occurring and the severity of its potential consequences. Likelihood refers to the probability or chance of the hazard happening, while severity refers to the extent of the harm or damage that could result from the hazard. By considering both factors, one can assess the level of risk associated with a particular hazard and take appropriate measures to mitigate or prevent it.

    True or False; Writing "May Contain" (or similar phrasing) on a label is an acceptable substitute for appropriate GMP's. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Writing "May Contain" (or similar phrasing) on a label is not an acceptable substitute for appropriate Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs). GMPs are a set of guidelines and regulations that ensure the quality, safety, and consistency of products. Simply stating "May Contain" does not provide specific information about the manufacturing processes, potential contaminants, or the measures taken to prevent them. It is important to follow proper GMPs to ensure the production of safe and high-quality products.

    When does the food Safety Plan Re-Analysis be completed (at minimum? 

    • Every 3 years 

    • Every year

    • Every 5 years 

    • Every quarter 

    Correct Answer
    A. Every 3 years 
    Explanation
    The food Safety Plan Re-Analysis needs to be completed at a minimum every 3 years. This means that the plan should be reviewed and reassessed every three years to ensure that it is still effective and up to date. This regular re-analysis helps to identify any potential risks or hazards that may have emerged since the last analysis and allows for necessary adjustments to be made to the plan in order to maintain food safety standards.

    ________________ should be in place before a Food Safety Plan is developed because it is the foundation to the plan and is considered a "pre-requisite". 

    • Safety 

    • Hazards

    • Allergen Control

    • GMPs/SOP's

    Correct Answer
    A. GMPs/SOP's
    Explanation
    GMPs/SOP's should be in place before a Food Safety Plan is developed because they are the foundation to the plan and are considered a "pre-requisite". Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) are a set of guidelines and procedures that ensure the safety and quality of food production. Standard Operating Procedures (SOP's) are specific instructions on how to carry out tasks in a consistent and safe manner. These practices and procedures are essential in preventing safety hazards and ensuring proper allergen control, which are crucial aspects of a Food Safety Plan.

    Before implementing a Food Safety Plan, what must be completed first? 

    • FDA approval (in writing)

    • Hazard Analysis

    • Water Quality Check 

    • An exam 

    Correct Answer
    A. Hazard Analysis
    Explanation
    Before implementing a Food Safety Plan, a hazard analysis must be completed first. This involves identifying and evaluating potential hazards that could occur at each stage of the food production process. By conducting a hazard analysis, potential risks can be identified and appropriate control measures can be implemented to prevent or minimize the occurrence of these hazards. This is a crucial step in ensuring the safety and quality of the food produced. FDA approval, water quality check, and an exam may be required at later stages, but the hazard analysis is the initial step that must be completed first.

    Which of the following is the primary cause for recalls? 

    • Microbial Contamination 

    • Adulterated Product

    • Labeling Errors

    • Metal Shavings in Product

    Correct Answer
    A. Labeling Errors
    Explanation
    Labeling errors can be a primary cause for recalls because they can lead to incorrect information being provided to consumers. This can include incorrect ingredient lists, allergen information, or instructions for use, which can pose serious health risks to consumers. Additionally, labeling errors can also result in misbranding, where a product is labeled with incorrect or misleading information, potentially causing confusion or harm to consumers. Therefore, labeling errors are a significant concern for regulatory authorities and can lead to product recalls to ensure consumer safety.

    The required validation for verification procedures should be completed ____________________. 

    • Whenever it gets done 

    • Before the food safety plan is implemented 

    • After the food safety olan is implemented

    • Within 90 days of production 

    • Before the food safety plan is implemented and within 90 days of production. 

    Correct Answer
    A. Before the food safety plan is implemented and within 90 days of production. 
    Explanation
    The required validation for verification procedures should be completed before the food safety plan is implemented and within 90 days of production. This means that the validation process should be conducted before the food safety plan is put into action to ensure that all necessary procedures and measures are in place to guarantee food safety. Additionally, the validation should be completed within 90 days of production to ensure that ongoing verification is conducted to maintain food safety standards.

    Rate this question:

  • 49. 

    Which of the following the classes is considered the most serious in a food recall?  

    • Class I

    • Class II

    • Class III

    • All are equal

    Correct Answer
    A. Class I
    Explanation
    Class I is considered the most serious in a food recall because it involves situations where there is a reasonable probability that consuming the food product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death. This class indicates a high level of risk to public health and immediate action is required to remove the product from the market. Class II and Class III are less serious categories, indicating lower levels of risk and potential health consequences.
