HACCP Certification

HAZARD ANALYSIS CRITICAL CONTROL POINTS

What is HACCP?

Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) is the internationally recognized food safety system that focuses on the systems required to identify and control the potential risks of foodborne safety hazards from reaching consumers. It is suitable to any organization who involved directly or indirectly in the food chain such as farms, fisheries, dairies, meat processors, and food service providers such as restaurants, hospitals, and catering services etc…

HACCP system allows you to identify hazards and put controls in place to manage these throughout your supply chain during production. The HACCP certification scheme meets the requirements of the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) – established by the World Health Organization and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations to bring together the international food standards, guidelines and codes of practice to ensure fair trade. It can also be used to support the requirements of International Standard ISO 22000 Food Safety Management.  

HACCP is a risk management system which is designed to identify, assess, evaluate and control the hazards in entire food production process. A competent and properly implemented HACCP program can reduce the probability of customer complaints and provide your customers, the public and regulatory agencies assurance that a food safety program is well-managed.
