HACCP
Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points
HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) is the internationally recognised food safety management system. It provides a systematic approach to identifying and controlling food safety hazards — protecting consumers and meeting regulatory requirements worldwide.
Why Certify
Benefits of HACCP Certification
HACCP is the foundation of food safety management — protecting consumers and opening doors to global food markets.
Prevent Food Safety Hazards
Proactively identify biological, chemical, and physical hazards and implement controls before they impact consumers.
Meet Regulatory Requirements
HACCP is mandated by food safety legislation in Australia, and is a prerequisite for many export markets.
Reduce Product Recalls
Systematic hazard controls and CCP monitoring significantly reduce the risk of contamination and costly recalls.
Access Export Markets
HACCP certification is required for exporting food products to the EU, USA, and many other international markets.
Build Consumer Trust
Demonstrate to retailers, distributors, and end consumers that your food production meets internationally recognised safety standards.
Foundation for ISO 22000
HACCP forms the core of ISO 22000 — certifying HACCP is an important step toward broader food safety management system certification.
What It Covers
The 7 Principles of HACCP
