Under SRM regulations, SRM segregation and disposal procedures must be included in which types of documents?

• A. HACCP plans
• B. SSOPs
• C. Prerequisite programs
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

SRM controls must be documented at multiple levels of the food safety system. The HACCP plan identifies how SRMs are controlled as a hazard and where segregation and disposal occur at critical points. SSOPs cover sanitation and waste handling, which includes the proper segregation of SRMs and their disposal to prevent cross-contamination. Prerequisite programs establish the foundational practices and infrastructure—facility design, equipment, training, and waste management—that support consistent SRM segregation and disposal. Because all three types of documents play a role in ensuring SRMs are properly handled, the regulations require including SRM segregation and disposal procedures in HACCP plans, SSOPs, and prerequisite programs—i.e., all of the above.
