What is HACCP?

HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) is an internationally recognized, systematic preventive approach to food safety. It identifies biological, chemical and physical hazards and establishes controls at the critical points where they can be prevented, eliminated or reduced.

Based on seven principles defined by Codex Alimentarius, HACCP is the foundation of modern food-safety systems and is often a legal and customer requirement across the food industry.

  • Preventive — control hazards proactively, not by end-product testing.
  • 7 principles — built on the internationally recognized Codex framework.
  • Critical controls — monitor the points that matter most for safety.
