HACCP – Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point
There are seven principles, developed by the National Advisory Committee on Microbiological Criteria for Foods, that serve as the foundation for a HACCP system.
What are they?

How Does HACCP Work in Food Production?1. Conduct a hazard analysis to identify potential hazards that could occur in the food production process.
2. Identify the critical control points (CCPs) -- those points in the process where the potential hazards could occur and can be prevented and/or controlled.
3. Establish critical limits for preventive measures associated with each CCP. A critical limit is a criterion that must be met for each CCP. Where appropriate, critical limits may reflect relevant regulatory requirements.

How Does HACCP Work in Food Production? 4. Establish CCP monitoring requirements to ensure each CCP stays within its limit. Monitoring may require materials or devices to measure or otherwise evaluate the process at CCPs.
5. Establish corrective actions if monitoring determines a CCP is not within the established limits. In case a problem occurs, corrective actions must be in place to ensure no public health hazard occurs.

How Does HACCP Work in Food Production? 6. Establish procedures for verifying that the HACCP system is working properly. Verification procedures may include reviewing the HACCP plan, CCP records, critical limits as well as conducting microbial sampling. Both plant personnel and auditors will conduct verification activities.
7. Establish effective recordkeeping procedures that document the HACCP system is working properly. Records should document CCP monitoring, verification activities and deviation records.

The GFSI Mission is to work on continuous improvement in food safety management systems to ensure confidence in the delivery of food to consumers.
The GFSI Objectives are to:• Maintain a benchmarking process for food safety management
schemes to work towards convergence between food safety standards, as outlines in this Guidance Document.
• Improve cost efficiency throughout the food supply chain through the common acceptance for GFSI recognized standards by retailers around the world.
• Provide a unique international stakeholder platform for networking, knowledge exchange and sharing of best food safety practice and information.

GFSI – Audit
Systematic and functionally independent examination to determine whether activities and related results comply with a conforming scheme, whereby all the elements of this scheme should be covered by reviewing the suppliers’ manual and related procedures, together with an evaluation of the production facilities.

GFSI - Non-conformity
Deviation of product or process from specified requirements, or the absence of, or failure to implement and maintain, one or more required management system elements, or a situation which would, on the basis of available objective evidence, raise significant doubt as to the conformity of what the supplier is supplying.

SQF Levels of certification
Two different standards, or "codes“ SQF 1000 for primary producers (farms) and SQF 2000 for manufacturers (processing plants).
The SQF 2000 Code is divided into three
certification levels:
Level 1- Covers food safety fundamentals;
Level 2- Certified HACCP food safety plans are recognized by GFSI
Level 3- Comprehensive food safety and quality management system actions exceed the GFSI benchmark requirements.

Benefits of a HACCP based Food Safety Management System (BSI Group, 389 Chiswick High Road, London, W4 4AL. Email: [email protected])
Process Based System: Business will benefit from a clear definition of processes and procedures. Effective communication and continual process improvement are the cornerstones of a functioning management system.
Customer and Consumer Confidence: A controlled food operating environment and effectively implemented and applied food safety system will improve customer and consumer confidence in the safety of food.

Benefits of a HACCP based Food Safety Management System (BSI Group, 389 Chiswick High Road, London, W4 4AL. Email: [email protected])
Risk Management: It uses a systematic approach covering all aspects of food production from raw materials, processing, distribution, point of sale to consumption and beyond. It moves a company from a solely retrospective end product testing and sampling approach towards a preventative approach that is designed to reduce product losses and liabilities.
Relationship Improvement: To enhance the relationships between organizations in the food chain, customers and enforcement agencies.

Benefits of a HACCP based Food Safety Management System (BSI Group, 389 Chiswick High Road, London, W4 4AL. Email: [email protected])
Management Responsibility: It enables management throughout a business to demonstrate their commitment to the production and supply of safe products and within facility environments that are favorable for the production or supply of safe food.
Legal Protection: It has been widely accepted that HACCP based systems present the food industry with the most effective management tool to enable the production and supply of safe food. As such, the adoption of this approach can offer a legal defense in the event of an outbreak of food borne diseases.

Benefits of a HACCP based Food Safety Management System (BSI Group, 389 Chiswick High Road, London, W4 4AL. Email: [email protected])
Records: Record-keeping enables a more efficient and effective government and customer oversight, and allows investigators to see how well a firm is complying with food safety laws over a period of time rather than how well it is doing on any given day. The documentation within a food safety system facilitates the inspection activities of food inspectors.
Alignment with other management systems: HACCP based food safety management systems can be combined with other management systems such as ISO 9001:2000.
