Exploring Food Safety & HACCP as an SME

"If you run a food business, you must have a plan based on the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) Principles.

The HACCP plan keeps your food safe from biological, chemical and physical food safety hazards. To make a plan, you must:

• identify any hazards that must be avoided, removed or reduced
• identify the critical control points (CCPS) - the points when you need to prevent, remove or reduce a hazard in your work process
• set limits for the CCPs
• make sure you monitor the CCPs
• put things right if there is a problem with a CCP
• put checks in place to make sure your plan is working
• keep records.

You might be inspected, and the inspector will need to see your records!"
