Either HAV or HACCP Verification can be performed as routine or directed.

• A. Neither
• B. HAV only
• C. HACCP Verification only
• D. True

Answer: (D)

Verification activities in HACCP are about confirming the plan is being followed and remains effective. These verifications can be done on a regular schedule or in response to a specific trigger.

Hazard analysis verification checks that the hazards identified and the associated controls are still appropriate, and that any changes in ingredients, processes, or suppliers haven’t introduced new hazards or invalidated the analysis. This can happen routinely (with periodic reassessment) or as directed if new information or problems arise.

HACCP verification covers confirming that the HACCP plan is implemented correctly, CCP monitoring is functioning, records are complete, deviations are handled properly, and validations or revalidations are performed as needed. Like hazard analysis verification, these checks can be routine (scheduled audits/reviews) or directed (triggered by a deviation, recall, or change).

So the statement is true: either HAV verification or HACCP verification can be performed as routine or directed.
