HACCP Implementation

Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) system for food businesses to prevent safety hazards and meet FSSAI and global export requirements.

Overview

HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) is a science-based food safety methodology mandatory for Indian food processors and exporters seeking FSSAI compliance and global market access. It provides a rigorous framework to identify and control biological, chemical, and physical hazards at every stage of production. For high-risk food businesses, a certified HACCP plan is the essential baseline for protecting consumers and avoiding legal liabilities. VETREO Solutions delivers ready-to-audit HACCP plans that meet USFDA, EU, and Gulf import standards, ensuring your food products are safe by design and export-ready.

The ISO Certification Process

1
Hazard Analysis
Conduct a systematic scientific review of your food processing steps to identify all potential biological, chemical, and physical hazards.
2
CCP Identification
Determining the specific 'Critical Control Points' where hazards must be prevented, eliminated, or reduced to safe levels.
3
Limit Setting
Establishing rigorous scientific limits for each CCP—such as temperature or pressure—to ensure food safety is never compromised.
4
Monitoring Protocols
Setting up detailed procedures and documentation requirements to track and verify that all CCPs remain within safe limits.
5
Verification & Audit
Executing internal verification audits to prove your HACCP system is effective before final certification by a food safety body.
