Hazard evaluation values if which conditions?

Hazard evaluation values if which conditions?

• A. The known or reasonably foreseeable hazards require a preventive control
• B. If there are no hazards
• C. If there is only one hazard
• D. If the product is organic

Answer: (A)

Hazard evaluation is done to determine whether any known or reasonably foreseeable hazards require a preventive control. The process starts by identifying hazards that could reasonably occur and then assessing their severity and likelihood. If this assessment shows that a hazard must be controlled to prevent or reduce it to an acceptable level, a preventive control is selected and the hazard analysis informs what needs to be monitored, verified, and recorded. If there are no hazards, or if the hazards identified do not require a preventive control, no preventive controls are needed. The product being organic or having only one hazard does not automatically change this—the trigger is whether the hazard requires a preventive control based on the analysis.
