HACCP Consultancy in Singapore – Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points

Improve Food Safety with HACCP

Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) is a systematic food safety management approach designed to identify, evaluate, and control biological, chemical, and physical hazards throughout food production and handling processes.

HACCP helps food businesses establish preventive controls to reduce food safety risks and protect consumers. It can be applied at different stages of the food supply chain, from food production and processing to storage, distribution, preparation, and service.

Implementing HACCP supports consistent food safety practices, improves process control, and helps organizations meet applicable food safety requirements.

The Seven Principles of HACCP

HACCP is based on seven principles that provide a structured approach to managing food safety hazards.

1. Conduct a Hazard Analysis: Identify potential biological, chemical, and physical hazards associated with food products and processes.

2. Determine Critical Control Points (CCPs): Identify process steps where control is essential to prevent, eliminate, or reduce food safety hazards to acceptable levels.

3. Establish Critical Limits: Define measurable limits for each critical control point.

4. Establish Monitoring Procedures: Determine how and when critical control points will be monitored.

5. Establish Corrective Actions: Define actions to take when monitoring indicates that a critical limit has not been met.

6. Establish Verification Procedures: Confirm that the HACCP system is implemented correctly and operates effectively.

7. Maintain Documentation and Records: Keep appropriate records to demonstrate that food safety controls are being followed.

Who Can Use HACCP?

HACCP principles can be applied across the food supply chain, including businesses involved in food production, processing, storage, distribution, preparation, and service.
