HACCP — Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Points

A systematic, science-based approach to identifying and controlling food safety hazards at the points in production where they matter most.

What It Is

A preventive approach to food safety

HACCP is a systematic method for identifying, evaluating, and controlling hazards that are significant for food safety. Rather than relying on end-product testing, it focuses on preventing hazards at Critical Control Points throughout production.

It underpins most modern food safety standards, including ISO 22000, and is often a baseline requirement for food businesses.
