Why it matters
HACCP is the internationally accepted framework for preventive food safety and is often required by regulators and buyers. Certification demonstrates that hazards are controlled at their source rather than detected after the fact.
Food Safety Process Certification
HACCP
HACCP certification verifies a systematic, hazard-based approach to identifying, evaluating and controlling significant food safety hazards throughout a production process.
Who it applies to
Any operation that produces, processes, handles or distributes food — from primary production to manufacturing, food service and storage.
Key requirements
A documented HACCP plan with hazard analysis, identified critical control points, validated critical limits, monitoring and corrective-action procedures, verification activities, and supporting prerequisite programs.
