HACCP Certification

HACCP (Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Points) is the internationally recognized structured operating method that helps organizations in the food and beverage industry identify their food safety risks, prevent food safety hazards and address legal compliance. HACCP is mandatory in several countries, including the US and the EU. HACCP principles and guidelines for its application have been adopted by the Codex Alimentations Commission. The HACCP system is science based and identifies specific hazards and measures for their control to ensure the safety of food.

The HACCP technique does this by identifying the risks, establishing critical control points, setting critical limits, and ensuring control measures are validated, verified and monitored before implementation.

The effective implementation of HACCP will enhance the ability of companies to: protect and enhance brands and private labels, promote consumer confidence and conform to regulatory and market requirements.
