HACCP Certification

Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point/s

HACCP certification shows clients right away that you're serious about manufacturing or producing safe food. When you're being audited by regulatory authorities or stakeholders, this evidence-based approach can be especially useful. Using HACCP certification compliance to demonstrate a genuine dedication to food safety may transform your brand and serve as a successful entry-to-market strategy, opening up new business prospects all over the world.

Did you know that many current food processing standards began with the space program? In the early 1960s, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) asked the Pillsbury company to develop food suitable for their astronauts. They wanted offerings that were both tasty and safe to eat in zero gravity.

In developing this product, the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) was born. It represented a quantum leap in food safety standards, and it is now used all over the world.

What Is HACCP?

If you’re a food processing operation, food safety is essential to your success. The HACCP is a systematic, preventative approach to this important part of business, a logical tool for adapting traditional inspection methods to a modern, science-based, system. 

HACCP certification goes beyond inspecting finished food products. It helps to find, correct, and prevent hazards throughout the production process. These include physical, chemical, and biological hazards. It has seven principles:

  1. Conduct a Hazard Analysis
  2. Identify Critical Control Points
  3. Establish Critical Limits
  4. Monitor Critical Control Points
  5. Establish Corrective Actions
  6. Establish Record Keeping Procedures
  7. Establish Verification Procedures

The team of food consultancy experts at Quantum Food Solutions can make these seven points easier to achieve in your business and bring your food processing up to current standards.

"We have since a few months received our federal (CFIA) dairy processing permit. This would not have happened without your guiding hand. You brought us through the process very readily and logically and now we continue to follow the programs and feel very confident with the HACCP program that was designed for our plant. We would highly recommend your services to other artisan cheese making plants, as it gives a lot more scope for marketing which is so important for any food processor."
