HACCP Plan Development
Professional Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points plan for comprehensive food safety management.
What is a HACCP Plan?
HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) is a systematic preventive approach to food safety that addresses physical, chemical, and biological hazards as a means of prevention rather than finished product inspection. A HACCP plan is a food safety management system that identifies and controls potential hazards throughout the food production process, from receiving raw materials to distributing the final product.
