HACCP aims to help business operators to achieve product safety by foreseeing potential food safety hazards (caused by microorganisms, metallic fragments, etc.), specifying hazard management procedures and applying these procedures to prevent the occurrence of hazards throughout the whole manufacturing process.
HACCP is a scientific system that enables companies to ensure the safety and integrity of their food products in an effective and efficient manner.
