HACCP

Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point/s

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 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:

Conduct a Hazard Analysis
Identify Critical Control Points
Establish Critical Limits
Monitor Critical Control Points
Establish Corrective Actions
Establish Record Keeping Procedures
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.

HACCP Training

Our customizable HACCP training program is delivered by our expert HACCP trainers to help you gain in-depth expertise and practical knowledge. We can develop a training program specifically designed to meet the unique needs of your operation, or we can develop a training program that is specific to selected areas of interest.

HACCP is not just used in food production: other industries, including cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, apply it to their production lines. HACCP is even recommended by the Codex Alimentarius Commission, the United Nations’ international standards organization for food safety, making it a solution for most companies around the world.

If you need to bring your food processing facility up to this standard, trust the experts at Quantum Food Solutions to make it happen.

Testimonials

Dinesh Chinnaswamy

Director, Quality Assurance and Food Safety, Sofina Foods Inc., Markham, ON

"We have hired Renzo Gomez from Quantum Food Solutions as an independent third party to evaluate our cooking and cooling processes (smokehouses, spiral oven, chillers) in some of our plants. This work has enabled us to demonstrate product safety to our clients and CFIA. We were also able to improve product quality while gaining process efficiencies. We highly recommend their services, and we look forward to working with them again."

Margaret P. Morris

President, Glengarry Cheesemaking Inc., Glengarry Fine Cheese, Lancaster, On

"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."

Daniel Dorigiola

“We have used the services from Quantum Food Solutions for a number of years to help us manage our written food safety program and validate our food safety controls (e.g., cooking, cooling, fermented/dry-cured products). We are very pleased with their practical approach to resolving issues and finding opportunities for process improvement. We certainly appreciate the high level of service they continue to provide our company and highly recommend their services”.

Pawel Zwerello

“Renzo is very knowledgeable in Food Sciences, and we hired him as a process authority to help us approve a custom process, which received ‘no objection’ from CFIA. Renzo works in an efficient, professional and timely manner. We look forward to working with Renzo in the future, and have no reservations on recommending him to others looking to improve their processes and take their Food Safety to the next level. Thanks Quantum!”

"This is to acknowledge that Renzo Gomez from Quantum Food Solutions facilitated the
installation of a solid HACCP plan, which allowed us to reach our goal of becoming federally licensed with CFIA. Thanks to our upgraded food safety standards, we were able to get in to business with Farm Boy and sell our product in new markets outside of Ontario. His service is affordably priced, very streamlined and his communication is honest and straight forward. It was a pleasure to work with Renzo Gomez and we are looking forward to work with him again in the future”
