P. J. SLADE, National Center for Food Safety & Technology, Illinois Institute of Technology, IIT Moffett Campus, 6502 S. Archer Rd., Summit-Argo, IL 60501-1923 A summary on the status of HACCP in the U.S.A. in HACCP-regulated industries (meat and poultry, seafood, and juice) will be given. Specifically the effect on implementation and enforcement of HACCP principles on the safety of products from these industries will be evaluated. Emphasis will be placed on analysis of the public health record with respect to the control of particular hazards from the different commodity groups impacted. Outstanding areas of concern not yet adequately addressed by application of HACCP will be identified. A brief analysis of costs and benefits will be given. For those industries not regulated under HACCP in the U.S., major areas of public health concern will be identified and the potential benefits of application of HACCP will be discussed. A comparison with the situation regarding the application of HACCP internationally will be presented. Finally, the role of HACCP within the framework of establishing food safety objectives (FSOs), including the utility of performance and process criteria, will be discussed with respect to the future application of HACCP in the food manufacturing industries.
