What mandatory system, implemented after significant regulatory updates in the 1990s, requires producers to build monitoring into their processes?

Answer

Pathogen Reduction/HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points)

A substantial regulatory shift occurred in the 1990s recognizing that systemic failures required a systemic fix, moving beyond just testing the final product after it was made. This led to significant updates aimed at controlling the process itself rather than just reacting to end-product results. The specific implementation that mandated producers incorporate monitoring directly into their operational processes was the adoption of Pathogen Reduction/HACCP systems. HACCP stands for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points, representing a systemic approach to ensuring safety throughout the entire production chain.
