Hiatal hernias occur when part of the stomach slides through the opening in the diaphragm where the esophagus passes from the chest into the abdomen. A sliding hiatal hernia is the most common type and occurs when the lower esophagus and portions of the stomach slide through the diaphragm into the chest.
HACCP is designed to focus attention on food safety areas and to monitor and check each step along the process to make sure the product is safe and the process is in control - instead of relying on the end product when it's too late to correct the problem.
The HACCP pyramid illustrates the point that there needs to be a strong foundation upon which to build a. food safety program. A good place to start in developing your food safety program is to assess your. current operation. The first assessment that needs to be made addresses prerequisite programs. These. are programs, such as cleaning and sanitizing, that need to be in place before a HACCP-based program. can be effective.
