SafeCheck: What is HACCP and Why Should You Care About It?

1. Safe Check : What is HACCP and Why Should You Care About It? Are you engaged in a business in the food industry? Maybe own a hotel, restaurant, catering service or a food production plant? If yes, then you already know the importance of a food safety certificate to the business. One of the best certificates that you can get for your business is the HACCP certification (where HACCP stands for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points). It is internationally recognized, cost-effective and lays out clearly defined principles that you need to follow to protect the food from physical, chemical and microbiological hazards. Here are some of the benefits of getting a HACCP certification for your food business:  Maintain high quality for your food by protecting it against physical, chemical and biological contaminants.  Save money by reducing the costs associated with product rework, product withdrawals, product wastage and product recalls.  Streamline the food inspection process, so you can focus on more and better food production.  Ensure a consistency and predictability in your food quality, because the HACCP system focuses on prevention of problems.  Win customer confidence by letting them know that you are in compliance with a globally accepted food safety certificate.  The comprehensive record-keeping and documentation required for adherence to HACCP standards give you a strong defense against legal liabilities.

2. What Should be Your Next Steps? Now that you are aware of the benefits of the HACCP certification for your business, let’s talk about what you need to do for achieving the same. Being a food establishment you’ll have to develop and implement your own HACCP system, tailoring it as per the specific product’s manufacturing, processing and distributing conditions. When developing your HACCP plan, you’ll need to consider the unique conditions that exist for your food business and think about all the potential physical, chemical and biological threats that can pose danger to the food. The foundation of an efficient HACCP program lies in following two things:  Appropriate operating and environment conditions that ensure safe food handling. You may have to invest some money in acquiring new equipment and making structural changes for this purpose.  HACCP training for everyone involved at any stage of food handling. Without providing proper HACCP training and education to your staff, you can’t enforce HACCP standards to their full effect. Everybody needs to be on board because food safety requires collective efforts. HACCP certification requires great commitment, which once you deliver you’ll be in the position to reap in all its rewarding results.
