NASA's HACCP system for food safety is now global standard

NASA's Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) system, developed for Apollo astronaut food safety, is now a global food safety standard. The methodology identifies and controls hazards in food production, ensuring safety. Adopted by Pillsbury and later the food industry, it led to regulations like the 2011 Food Safety Modernization Act. HACCP requirements are now widespread, impacting food production worldwide.
