What is HACCP?

Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) is about controlling risks and preventing hazards.

There is a perceived mystery about HACCP, but it is only about hazard analysis, food safety controls and some records. The seven principles of HACCP form the basis of your food safety system. However, HACCP should not be confused with general food safety requirements.
