Critical control point

Imagine you're playing a game where you have to collect a lot of pieces or objects to win. But some of these objects are really important and you have to be extra careful when you pick them up, otherwise you might lose the whole game. These really important objects are critical control points.

Critical control points are like the most important parts of a process that help us make sure our food is safe to eat. Remember when we make a sandwich or a pizza? We have to add different things, like meats, vegetables, sauce, and cheese. Each step we take in making the food is important, but some steps are really important because if we don't do them right, we could make people sick.

So we need to identify these really important steps and make sure we do them carefully to make sure the food is safe to eat. These important steps are called critical control points. We need to check them and record our findings to make sure we're doing everything we can to keep people healthy.
