HACCP Training
What is HACCP?
HACCP is a management system in which
food safety is addressed through the analysis and control of biological,
chemical, and physical hazards from raw material production, procurement
and handling, to manufacturing, distribution and consumption of the finished
product. For successful implementation of a HACCP plan, management must
be strongly committed to the HACCP concept. A firm commitment to HACCP
by top management provides company employees with a sense of the importance
of producing safe food.
Among the companies we helped in their certification, compliance or training projects:

Why implement HACCP?
HACCP is designed for use in all
segments of the food industry from growing, harvesting, processing, manufacturing,
distributing, and merchandising to preparing food for consumption. Prerequisite
programs such as current Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) are an essential
foundation for the development and implementation of successful HACCP plans.
Food safety systems based on the HACCP principles have been successfully
applied in food processing plants, retail food stores, and food service
operations. The seven principles of HACCP have been universally accepted
by government agencies, trade associations and the food industry around
the world. The USDA also recommends a Total Quality System Approach integrating HACCP and ISO 9000. see link.

be implemented through all phases of your production and delivery where
a potential safety hazards exists. Prequisite programs such as Good Manufacturing
Practice (GMP) are required to achieve an effective implementation.
