Space-age technology designed to keep food safe in outer space may soon become standard here on Earth. Traditionally, industry and regulators have depended on spot-checks of manufacturing conditions and random sampling of final products to ensure safe food. This approach, however, tends to be reactive, rather than preventive, and can be less efficient than the new system.

HACCP originated in the chemical processing industry, particularly inGreat Britain, over forty years ago. Then in the 1950’s, 60’s and 70’s, the US atomic energy commission made extensive use of the HACCP principles to design nuclear power plants.

The modern concept of HACCP was developed during space missions in the 1960’s by the U.S. Army Laboratories and NASA, mainly to prevent their astronauts from getting sick from the food they were eating in space.

The Pillsbury Company, which was the manufacturer of the food, applied HACCP principles to its food operations to ensure the safety of its product.

Food businesses are either legally required to have documented food safety programs in place or increasingly expected to safe their customers.

The Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) system is the internationally accepted methodology for assuring food safety and is also used to ensure product quality.
