Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP) is a risk management tool is primarily used to manage food safety risks. A HACCP system allows you to identify hazards and put in place controls to manage these throughout your supply chain during production. The HACCP scheme meets the requirements of the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) – established by the World Health Organization and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations to bring together international food standards, guidelines and codes of practice to ensure fair trade. It can also be used to support the requirements of management standard requirements, such as ISO 22000 Food Safety Management.

Benefits of HACCP

• Implement internationally recognised food safety hazard controls
• Give producers, stakeholders and suppliers confidence in your controls
• Align HACCP with ISO 22000 to improve food safety management systems
• Effectively manage food safety risks across the whole supply chain
• Continually review and improve your system so it stays effective
