________ is the planned sequence of observation to assess CCP control and to produce a record for verification.

• A. Corrective Actions
• B. Monitoring
• C. Verification
• D. Hazard Analysis

Answer: (B)

Monitoring is the planned sequence of observation to assess CCP control and to produce a record for verification. It involves using defined methods and frequencies to measure or observe a CCP during operation, so you know in real time whether the process stays within its critical limits. The records generated by monitoring provide the evidence that CCPs were kept under control, which verification uses to confirm the system’s effectiveness. Corrective actions are the steps taken when monitoring shows a deviation, while verification is an independent check of the monitoring data and procedures, and hazard analysis is the initial process of identifying potential hazards and establishing CCPs.
