HACCP Certification
Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Point certification for food producers, processors, caterers and restaurants.
Overview
HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) is a preventive food safety system based on the Codex Alimentarius principles. It identifies biological, chemical and physical hazards and controls them at critical points in production.
