What is HACCP? 

HACCP Stands for Hazardous Analysis Critical Control Point. 

"Section 111 of the Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004 (Public Law 108-265) amended section 9(h) of the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act by requiring school food authorities (SFAs) to implement a food safety program for the preparation and service of school meals served to children in the school year beginning July 1, 2005. The program must be based on Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) principles and conform to guidance issued by the Department of Agriculture (USDA). All SFAs must have a fully implemented food safety program that complies with HACCP principles or with this optional guidance no later than the end of the 2005 – 2006 School Year."
Cobb County Nutrition and Food Services has implemented the HACCP program at all schools.  Food safety is monitored at all steps of food preparation.
