HACCP Certification Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point

HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) is a preventive system where food manufacturers and handlers identify hazards that could be introduced during production or handling, and decide how to eliminate or control them — from ingredients through production, storage and distribution to the final consumer.
