HACCP Certification
HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) is a worldwide recognised food safety guideline that applies to all stages of food manufacturing and processing. At Hisab Taskmaster CA Advisors, we recognise the necessity of upholding the latest food safety standards in all industries that manage food manufacturing, distribution and consumption. Our HACCP certification services empower businesses to enhance their food safety protocols, mitigate risks and comply with local and international regulations.
What is HACCP Certification?
HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) is a global approach for ensuring safety of food. It helps businesses identify and control potential risks like biological, chemical and physical hazards during food production. Based on the Codex Alimentarius General Principles of Food Hygiene (CXC 1-1969, 2020), HACCP is a legal requirement for food businesses at all levels of the supply chain in many countries. HACCP certification confirms that a business complies with these standards and adopts preventive measures throughout the production process.
The certification process involves assessing risks, setting safety controls and regularly checking food production. This ensures that all aspects of food safety are carefully monitored and managed to prevent hazards at every stage of production.
The 7 Principles of HACCP
The following seven principles are the foundation of the HACCP system designed to ensure food safety from farm to table –
- Hazard Analysis - Identify any potential dangers or risks that could affect the safety of the food during production.
- Critical Control Points (CCPs) - Find critical points in the production cycle where control is necessary to prevent or remove hazards.
- Establish Critical Limits - There should be some clear standards to guarantee that every CCP remains within safe boundaries.
- Monitoring - Keep an eye on the CCPs to make sure they don't exceed the originally set boundaries.
- Corrective Measures - Take prompt action if a deviation from the critical limits occurs during monitoring.
- Log Records - Maintain detailed documentation of all HACCP processes and activities.
- Check Effectiveness Verification - Regularly review the HACCP system to ensure it remains effective.
The HACCP Certification Process
Achieving HACCP certification, UAE involves several key steps to ensure food safety compliance –
1. Understand HACCP Requirements – Begin by understanding HACCP principles through accredited training or by consulting food safety experts to familiarize yourself with the certification requirements.
2. Develop Your HACCP Plan – Create a customized HACCP plan for your goods and procedures. Ensure it meets both local and international regulatory standards and clearly defines the scope of your food safety management system.
3. Complete a Gap Analysis – If you already have a HACCP plan, conduct a gap analysis to identify missing components or areas for improvement and consult experts if necessary.
4. Choose a Certifying Body – Select an accredited third-party certifying body with the necessary qualifications to assess your HACCP plan and request a detailed quote outlining all costs.
5. Undergo the HACCP Audit – Undergo a two-stage audit process which consists of a document review and onsite inspection with follow-up audits if major issues arise.
6. Receive Certification – After a successful audit, a certification decision will be made. A hard copy and a digital version of your three-year HACCP certificate with yearly surveillance audits will be sent to you.
