What is a sanitiser?
C. A product that both cleans and disinfects

What is the main purpose of a HACCP-based system?
C. To identify hazards and control them before harm occurs
HACCP is preventive: it looks for what could go wrong at each step and puts controls in place. End-product testing is tempting but only finds a problem after it has happened, and only in the samples tested.
Reference: Codex Alimentarius HACCP principles
