Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) Certification

In the age of e-commerce, more and more food products are manufactured and shipped all around the world. This makes food manufacturing a lucrative business, but it also increases the risk of food being contaminated through handling of several parties. Hence, safe food handling and food safety are key in ensuring that your customers are healthy after they consume your products, and not return to complain about your company.

So how do we convince a country's regulatory body that our product is of good quality and is safe for their citizens? How do we convince consumers that our product is safe for them and their family?

Having a HACCP certification instantly demonstrates to your customers that you are committed to producing or trading food products using safe food handling methods. This evidence-based approach can be particularly beneficial when you are subject to inspection by regulatory authorities or stakeholders. Demonstrating a real commitment to food safety through HACCP compliance can also transform your brand and act as an effective entry-to-market tool, opening up new business opportunities around the world.

HACCP certification is an international standard defining the requirements for effective control of food safety. It is built around seven principles:

1. Conduct Hazard Analysis of biological, chemical or physical food hazards.
2. Determine critical control points.
3. Establish critical control limits, for example, minimum cooking temperature and time.
4. Establish a system to monitor control of Critical Control Points.
5. Establish corrective actions.
6. Establish procedures for verification to confirm that the HACCP system is working effectively.
7. Establish documentation and record keeping.
