HACCP

HACCP PLAN DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION TRAINING

Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) is a practical, systematic management tool designed to ensure food and product safety. It identifies critical areas of handling and demonstrates where resources should be targeted to reduce the risk of selling an unsafe product. Benefits of HACCP include:

  • Confidence that food safety is being effectively managed in your operation
  • Prevention planning rather than defect control to ensure product safety
  • Significant improvement in the area of product quality
  • Customer confidence in the safety of your products through documentation

This course is accredited by the International HACCP Alliance and meets Global Food Safety Initiative requirements.
