HACCP is the short form for Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Points. HACCP has a prominent role to play in food safety systems. From farm to fork, food items go through a variety of challenges which includes chemical, physical and microbiological hazards. Food items can get contaminated not only during production but also during distribution, handling, procurement or during the storage phase.
HACCP helps you frame plans and strategy:
- Identify potential risks
- Building control measures
- Installing cutoff points
- Precautions to ensure control measures
HACCP plays an important role from the initial stage to the consumption of food items ensuring hygiene at all levels involved.
