HACCP — Food Safety Hazard Control
Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points is the internationally recognised system for identifying and controlling food safety hazards throughout production, based on the Codex Alimentarius framework.
Why HACCP matters
HACCP requires organisations to identify where hazards (biological, chemical, physical) could occur in a process and to establish critical control points with defined limits, monitoring and corrective actions.
RBA Registrars audits food businesses of every size against HACCP principles, supporting compliance with regulatory requirements and retailer supply-chain expectations.
