HACCP stands for Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (and it's pronounced hass-up). HACCP emerged as a result of collaborative work between the Pillsbury Company, US Army Natick Laboratories and the National Aeronautic and Space Administration (NASA). A system for preventing food safety hazards was required for application to foods intended for the space program. The only alternative was end product testing and, if certainty was to be assured, a 100% sampling rate would be required leaving little or no products for the astronauts to eat. Process control emerged as a solution.

Since then, HACCP has been taken up by food companies around the world, to help control the food production process. It is usually part of a wider quality assurance program.

Basically, a HACCP program means finding out where the really serious problems occur, monitoring these steps so you know if there are problems, and fixing any problems that arise.
