What is the consequence of failing to control a Critical Control Point?

  1. Increased food safety compliance

  2. Potential health risks for consumers

  3. Improved food quality

  4. Less food wastage

The correct answer is: Potential health risks for consumers

Failing to control a Critical Control Point (CCP) can lead to potential health risks for consumers. Critical Control Points are specific stages in food preparation or processing where control measures can be applied to prevent, eliminate, or reduce hazards to safe levels. If these points are not monitored or controlled effectively, foodborne pathogens or contamination can occur, increasing the likelihood of foodborne illnesses among consumers. This highlights the importance of proper management and monitoring of CCPs in food safety practices to ensure the health and safety of the public.
