Assuring food safety to your customers is an important part of inspiring confidence in your products and brand. The Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP) is an international management system that helps show that your product and production has gone through the rigorous certification to ensure safety.
Just what does getting the HAACP certification entail? The certification requires that you have systems and procedures that follow their guidelines. A certification authority will evaluate everything from the actual product, manufacturing, packaging, and storage of the product.
HACCP addresses food safety on multiple points from biological, chemical, to physical hazards. This can mean analyzing your product for bacteria that can cause illnesses, testing levels of harmful chemicals in the product, and analyzing the production side to ensure that outside contaminants aren’t making its way into the product.
Why get the HAACP certification? The certification shows that your products and company meet the highest standards when it comes to food safety. And since it’s coming from a third party, consumers can trust that they’re buying a safe product.
It is also essential if you are looking to conduct trade with other countries or businesses. In fact, some countries require HAACP certification if you want to do business there. You have to remember that HAACP certification applies on an international level, so it will help provide you with credibility no matter what country you are doing business in.
Getting compliant with HAACP standards means that your company will need proper training and systems in place to get the certification. It’s a small cost of business that will provide you with many business benefits.
