'''Hazard analysis and risk-based preventive controls''' or '''HARPC''' is a successor to the [[Hazard analysis and critical control points]] (HACCP) food safety system. It is mandated by the [[FDA Food Safety Modernization Act]] of 2010. As the name implies, HARPC systems emphasize prevention of hazards before they occur rather than their detection after they occur.<ref name="SherodABCs">{{cite web |last=Sherod |first=Anne |date=11 May 2015 |title=The ABCs Of Building A Food Safety Plan: From HACCP To HARPC |url=http://www.foodonline.com/doc/the-abc-s-of-building-a-food-safety-plan-from-haccp-to-harpc-0001 |website=foodonline.com |access-date=2 May 2016}}</ref> The [[FDA]] is releasing the rules in the Federal Registry beginning in September 2015.<ref>{{cite news |last=Bonar |first=Samantha |date=10 September 2015 |title=FDA takes important steps in modernizing food safety system |url=http://www.latimes.com/food/dailydish/la-dd-fda-food-safety-system-20150910-story.html |newspaper=Los Angeles Times |___location= |access-date= 10 September 2015 }}</ref> The first release of rules addressed Preventive Controls for Human Food and Preventive Controls for Foods for Animals.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.lgma.ca.gov/2015/09/first-fsma-rules-finalized-by-fda |title=First FSMA Rules Finalized by FDA |last1=Horsfall |first1=Scott |date= |website= |publisher=LGMA |access-date=17 September 2015}}</ref> The Produce Safety Final Rule, the Foreign Supplier Verification Programs (FSVP) Final Rule and the Accredited Third-Party Certification Final Rule were issued on November 13, 2015.<ref>{{cite news |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |title=FDA Issues Final Rules on Produce Safety, Imported Foods |url=http://www.foodqualityandsafety.com/article/fda-issues-final-rules-on-produce-safety-imported-foods |newspaper=Food Quality & Safety |___location= |date=16 November 2015 |access-date=20 November 2015}}</ref> The Sanitary Transportation of Human and Animal Food final rule was issued on April 6, 2016,<ref>{{Federal Register|81|20091}}</ref> and the Mitigation Strategies To Protect Food Against Intentional Adulteration (Food Defense) final rule was issued on May 27, 2016.<ref>{{cite news |last=Whitworth |first=Joe |date=27 May, 2016 |title=FDA issues rule to protect against intentional adulteration |url=http://www.foodqualitynews.com/Regulation-and-safety/FDA-finalises-last-FSMA-rule |newspaper=Food Quality News |___location= |access-date=1 June 2016}}</ref>
