HACCP Certification

What is HACCP?

HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) is a preventive food safety management system that identifies, evaluates, and controls biological, chemical, and physical hazards throughout the food production process.

Instead of relying only on final product inspection, HACCP focuses on preventing food safety risks at critical stages of production.

Why HACCP is Important

HACCP helps food businesses maintain high standards of hygiene and safety while complying with regulatory and customer requirements.

• Improves food safety and hygiene control
• Reduces risk of food contamination
• Supports regulatory and customer compliance
• Builds customer confidence and trust
• Prepares organizations for food safety audits

Seven Principles of HACCP

• Conduct hazard analysis
• Identify critical control points (CCPs)
• Establish critical limits
• Monitor critical control points
• Define corrective actions
• Verify HACCP system effectiveness
• Maintain documentation and records

Who Needs HACCP Certification?

HACCP certification is applicable to all organizations involved in the food supply chain, including:

• Food manufacturing and processing units
• Restaurants, hotels, and catering services
• Food packaging and storage facilities
• Cold storage and food logistics providers
• Food exporters and importers

HACCP vs ISO 22000

HACCP focuses specifically on identifying and controlling food safety hazards, whereas ISO 22000 is a comprehensive food safety management system that integrates HACCP principles with management system requirements.

Many organizations implement HACCP as a foundation before moving toward ISO 22000 certification.
