HACCP –Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point

About HACCP

HACCP is a systematic preventive approach to food safety and allergenic, chemical, and biological hazards in production processes that can cause the finished product to be unsafe, and design measurements to reduce these risks to a safe level. In this manner, HACCP is referred as the prevention of hazards rather than finished product inspection. The HACCP system can be used at all stages of a food chain, from food production and preparation processes including packaging, distribution, etc. These are guidelines to ensure that food remains contamination-free by making sure that all food operations are executed hygienically.

Benefits of HACCP

  • You secure the trust of your customers.
  • Focus on preventive actions helping to avoid unnecessary costs.
  • You use your resources effectively to produce trustworthy food.  
  • The HACCP concept ensures compliance with legal regulations and reduces food safety risk, i.e., product liability risks, ensuring better food quality.
