'HACCP' stands for—

Correct option is A

• Option (a): Correct
– HACCP expands to Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point.
– It is a systematic, preventive food safety system used to identify, evaluate, and control hazards (biological, chemical, physical) throughout the food chain.
– It ensures food safety by determining CCPs (Critical Control Points) where hazards can be controlled.
• Option (b): Incorrect
– The correct expansion uses "Hazard" (singular), not “Hazards.”
– This is a common confusion but not the accepted terminology.
• Option (c): Incorrect
– HACCP is not about general health analysis; it is specifically hazard-focused.
• Option (d): Incorrect
– HACCP does not expand to “Health and Critical Control Point”; this is unrelated to food safety systems.
