Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP)

Although HACCP certification is voluntary, the application of HACCP systems throughout the food chain has been a mandatory aspect since the 1980s.

The objective of the HACCP system of a company is to identify hazards that may occur in the food chain and can affect the customer, establishing control measures that guarantee the safety of the product.

The HACCP system is based on the Modal Failure, Effects and Criticality Analysis (AMFEC) engineering system. This correlation implies that at each stage of the process, we observe the errors that may occur, their probable causes and their effects, to establish the control mechanism.

The Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC), a body dependent on FAO (Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations) and WHO (World Health Organisation) included the HACCP (Risk Analysis and Control of Critical Points) in the Codex Alimentarius, or “Food Code” in the 1960s.

The Codex Alimentarius, or “Food Code”, is a set of standards, guidelines and codes of practice approved by the Codex Alimentarius Commission.

The HACCP system is compatible with all food safety standards (ISO 22000, FSC 22000, BRC Food, BRC Packaging, IFS Food or IFS PAC Secure).
