What is HACCP?

HACCP represents a systematic approach to identifying, assessing, and controlling risks related to food safety. This system is essential for ensuring the safety of food throughout every step of the production chain, from raw materials to finished products.

Basic Principles of HACCP

  1. Hazard Analysis: Identification of potential hazards, whether biological, chemical, or physical, that could threaten food safety.

  2. Determining Critical Control Points (CCPs): Identifying points in the production process where hazards can be controlled or eliminated to guarantee food safety.

  3. Setting Critical Limits: Defining boundaries that must be maintained at specific control points to prevent hazards.

  4. Monitoring System: Developing a monitoring system to ensure that critical control points stay within set limits.

  5. Corrective Actions: Defining actions to be taken if a deviation from critical limits is identified.

  6. Verification Procedures: Developing methods to confirm the effectiveness of the HACCP system.

  7. Documentation and Records: Maintaining detailed records of all aspects of the system to ensure transparency and proper documentation.
