Contact SupplierWe provide haccp certification services.
haccp is a preventative approach to food safety and pharmaceutical safety which addresses physical, chemical, and biological hazards as a means of prevention rather than finished product inspection. Haccp is compatible with management systems, such as iso 9001and certification is recognized worldwide by government food authorities and food businesses.
background
haccp was developed as a microbiological food safety system for astronauts at the beginning of the manned us space program. The pillsbury company, nasa and the us army laboratories at natick pioneered the original system. At that time food safety systems were based on end-product testing. Ensuring full safety required testing 100 percent of the product. The preventive food safety system was born to ensure high level of food safety without using the entire product.
haccp principles, developed by the codex alimentarius of the world health organization, demand that organizations establish effective food safety systems through the application of a systematic approach to hazard and risk analysis. This standard is used in the food industry to identify potential food safety hazards, so that key actions, known as critical control points (ccp's) can be taken to reduce or eliminate the risk of the hazards.
food safety and public health agencies recognize haccp as the preferred tool for food safety assurance and improving regulatory food standards. The food safety and inspection service of the us department of agriculture (fsis-usda) mandated haccp in meat and poultry processing in 1996. The food and drug administration (fda) later mandated haccp for seafood and juices. The world health organization (who) advises the incorporation of haccp into international and national food legislation to improve food inspection efficiency.
