Food Safety Plan & HACCP Verification & Validation Service
Validation: That element of verification focused on collecting and evaluating scientific and technical information to determine if the HACCP plan, when properly implemented, will effectively control the hazards. Verification: Those activities, other than monitoring, that determine the validity of the HACCP plan and that the system is operating according to the plan. – FDA, National Advisory Committee on Microbiological Criteria for Foods, Aug. 14, 1997
