Which of the following statements is true?

A food business operator has a legal obligation to: Establish, implement and maintain a HACCP system based on CODEX principles Train all high-risk food handlers to level 2 standard in HACCP Implement and maintain a documented food quality HACCP system Consult an environmental Health practitioner to advise on HACCP food safety matters None 7. A food business operator will assist their defence of due diligence if their HACCP system is: Detailed and includes complex risk assessment methods to determine critical control points Developed by consultants applying scientific information Implemented, documented and regularly reviewed as accurate Audited during development as being acceptable by an enforcement officer None 8.

The last HACCP principle is? Establish documentation Conduct a hazard analysis Establish critical control limits Establish corrective actions None 10.
