Main responsibilities:
Ensure you do not treat a food in any way which means it would be damaging to the health of people eating it;
Ensure food sold is of the nature, substance or quality which consumers would expect;
Ensure that the food is labelled, advertised and presented in a way that is not false or misleading.

Legal defence designed to balance the protection of the consumer against the right of food businesses not to be convicted of an offence they have taken all reasonable care to avoid committing.
“took all reasonable precautions and exercised all due

Monitoring is the act of conducting a planned sequence of observations or measurements of control parameters to assess whether a CCP is under control
Verification is the application of methods, procedures, tests and other evaluations, in addition to monitoring to determine compliance with the HACCP plan
(CAC, 2003).
