HACCP

Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points

What is it?

HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) is a preventive food safety management system based on 7 principles of Codex Alimentarius. It is the foundation of almost every GFSI standard (SQF, BRCGS, FSSC) and a regulatory requirement in multiple countries. It identifies biological, chemical, and physical hazards throughout the process, defines critical control points (CCPs), and establishes monitoring, correction, and verification measures.

What it's for
  • Meet regulatory requirements for food in U.S., Mexico, EU
  • Serve as technical foundation for any GFSI certification
  • Prevent food safety hazards before they reach the consumer
  • Systematize operational control with a risk-based approach
  • Reduce returns, product recalls, and customer complaints

Certification

HACCP itself is not a standard third-party certification, but has recognitions such as HACCP Alliance (U.S.) and HACCP Codex accredited training. It is the base for GFSI certifications and direct regulatory compliance.
