Why Study HACCP?

What does HACCP stand for? HACCP is an abbreviation of ‘Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points’ - an internationally recognised system for food safety risk management. All businesses operating within the food sector are required by law to take every necessary step to safeguard the end customer.  This applies to every business and employee involved in the preparation, transportation, handling and production of all types of food products. HACCP is a standardised approach to ensuring food products are safe for consumption, at the time they reach the customer.  Of particular importance to business owners and senior managers, the principles of HACCP must also be understood by members of the workforce at all levels.
