How the HACCP Certification Process Works
Ensuring Compliance Through Preparation & Auditing
HACCP certification involves preparation, auditing, and accreditation to ensure food safety compliance. The process includes developing a solid HACCP plan, implementing prerequisite programs (PRPs), and undergoing a third-party audit.
- Prerequisite Programs (PRPs) – PRPs establish the foundation for food safety, covering sanitation, facility design, hygiene practices, pest control, and sanitation procedures. These are essential to preventing contamination and ensuring compliance.
- Developing a HACCP Plan – A HACCP plan is tailored to specific products and processes, identifying hazards, critical limits, monitoring procedures, and corrective actions. This internationally recognized system meets global food safety standards and ensures compliance for domestic and international markets.
- Certification Audit – A third-party auditor evaluates compliance in two stages:
Stage 1: Reviews documentation and preparedness, identifying areas for improvement.
Stage 2: Conducts an in-depth assessment, including facility inspections, worker interviews, training evaluations, and compliance checks.
Successfully passing the audit results in HACCP certification, demonstrating a commitment to high food safety standards.
