HACCP Certification Consultancy

The HACCP system, which is science based and systematic, identifies specific hazards and measures for their control to ensure the safety of food. HACCP is a tool to assess hazards and establish control systems that focus on prevention rather than relying mainly on end-product testing. Any HACCP system is capable of accommodating change, such as advances in equipment design, processing procedures or technological developments.
It provides a risk based approach that supports other management systems standards across the food industry – such as ISO 22000 Food Safety Management.
HACCP can be applied throughout the food chain from primary production to final consumption and its implementation should be guided by scientific evidence of risks to human health. As well as enhancing food safety, implementation of HACCP can provide other significant benefits. In addition, the application of HACCP systems can aid inspection by regulatory authorities and promote international trade by increasing confidence in food safety.
Principles Of The Haccp System The HACCP system consists of the following seven principles:

• Principles 1 - Conduct a hazard analysis.
• Principles 2 - Determine the Critical Control Points (CCPs).
• Principles 3 - Establish critical limit(s).
• Principles 4 - Establish a system to monitor control of the CCP.
• Principles 5 - Establish the corrective action to be taken when monitoring indicates that a particular CCP is not under control.
• Principles 6 - Establish procedures for verification to confirm that the HACCP system is working effectively.
• Principles 7 - Establish documentation concerning all procedures and records appropriate to these principles and their application.
