2–5 days Foundation to Advanced Packhouse and processing teams, QA/QC officers, production managers

Course overview

HACCP is the universal language of food safety assurance. Buyers in the EU, UK and Middle East expect documented hazard analysis, validated critical control points and evidence that your team understands them.

This course takes your team from prerequisite programmes through to a fully documented, verified HACCP plan built around your own products and processes — not a generic template.

What participants will be able to do

  • Assemble a competent HACCP team and define product scope and intended use
  • Conduct hazard analysis for biological, chemical, physical and allergen hazards
  • Determine critical control points, critical limits, monitoring and corrective action
  • Verify and validate the plan and keep audit-ready records
  • Prepare confidently for FSSC 22000, BRCGS, ISO 22000 and buyer audits
