Which statement about required contents by law for a Food Safety Plan is accurate?

• A. A Facility Overview Is Required
• B. A Food Safety Team Is Required
• C. Both Facility Overview And Food Safety Team Are Not Required By Law
• D. A Marketing Plan Is Required

Answer: (C)

The law focuses on preventing hazards through a written Food Safety Plan that includes describing the product and its process, performing a hazards analysis, and implementing preventive controls with documented monitoring, corrective actions, and verification, plus a recall plan and supplier program as needed. It also requires that a preventive controls qualified individual oversee the plan and that records are kept. There is no separate legal requirement for a standalone facility overview, nor for a formal “food safety team” as a named entity; responsibilities can be assigned to individuals. Marketing plans aren’t part of the required contents for a Food Safety Plan. Therefore, statements about neither a facility overview nor a food safety team being required by law are accurate.
