HACCP

The internationally recognised, Codex-based system at the heart of food safety law. RTNTS builds, validates and trains your team on HACCP.

The standard

What is HACCP?

HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) is an internationally recognised, systematic approach to identifying, evaluating and controlling food safety hazards — biological, chemical and physical. Rather than relying on end-product testing, it prevents problems before they happen.

Defined by the Codex Alimentarius and built on 7 principles, a HACCP-based food safety management system is a legal requirement for food businesses across the UK and EU, and it forms the backbone of every major certification standard, including BRCGS, IFS and FSSC 22000.
