    Is there a group writing these questions, or a process for review? It’s just that I have noticed a few things that seem to be a bit off, or at least confusing. For example, Question 11 from Part I, references a HACCP Plan, and while CCPs are listed as a Preventive Control in the rule, the rule does not require a HACCP Plan, it requires a Food Safety Plan. While it may be a matter of semantics, HACCP Plans and Food Safety Plans, are different regulations. Also, I am looking forward to the answer for the question that only personnel of carriers are required to have training.
