HACCP
Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP) is an internationally recognised food safety system to ensure safe procedures and products.
HACCP applies principles and methodology for identifying and controlling microbiological, chemical or physical hazards in all stages of food processing or handling. Development of a HACCP system will involve the development and maintenance of hazard analysis and control systems, prerequisite programs and management systems for your business. HACCP certification will involve an independent audit of the business's compliance to the documented HACCP food safety systems and procedures of the business.
Implementation and maintaining HACCP certification can be critical to your compliance with food safety legislation, depending on your industry sector. It provides the foundations of a food safety and quality risk management tool that can support other management systems standards, and vendor standards across the food industry, as your business develops.

HACCP Food Safety Plan
HACCP requires documented systems and procedures to designed for your business to manage food safety hazards that are identified in a hazard risk assessment. A HACCP food safety plan generally includes:
- Identification of those personnel with food safety responsibilities
- Description of products and their intended use
- A quality and food safety risk analysis
- Standard operating procedures for all food operations that impact on food safety
- Documented support programs, to support the safe processing and handling of food, such as pest control, maintenance, product recall, staff training.
- Management support of food safety within the business
- Simple practical monitoring forms to demonstrate all identified hazards in the process are under control
