Either of the HACCP tasks (HAV or HACCP Verification) can be performed as a routine or directed task. Each HACCP task has two verification components. What are those two components?

• A. Review and Observation; Recordkeeping
• B. Review and Assessment; Documentation
• C. Observation and Analysis; Reporting
• D. Sampling and Calibration

Answer: (A)

In HACCP verification, you confirm that the plan is being implemented correctly through two verification activities: Review and Observation, and Recordkeeping.

Review and Observation means you examine the actual operations and the associated records to verify that monitoring, CCP controls, and corrective actions are being performed according to the plan. Observation involves watching how tasks are carried out in real time to ensure practices are followed and controls function as intended.

Recordkeeping provides the documentary evidence of these verifications—logs, checklists, sign-offs—so you have a traceable record that verification occurred and what was observed or reviewed.

The other options miss this precise pairing or mix terms not used together in HACCP verification, so they don’t capture both the on-site/record review and the documentation aspect critical to verification.
