However, HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) certification is widely recognized internationally as a food safety management system.
To obtain HACCP certification in Egypt or any other location, you typically need to follow these general steps:
- Training: Ensure that you and your staff receive adequate training in HACCP principles. Many organizations offer HACCP training programs both online and in-person.
- Develop HACCP Plan: Develop and implement a HACCP plan specific to your food business operations. This plan should identify potential hazards and outline critical control points to prevent, eliminate, or reduce those hazards to safe levels.
- Implementation: Implement the HACCP plan within your food production or handling processes.
- Documentation: Maintain detailed documentation of your HACCP plan, including records of monitoring, corrective actions, verification activities, and any modifications to the plan.
- Internal Audits: Conduct regular internal audits to ensure compliance with your HACCP plan and identify areas for improvement.
- Certification Body Selection: Choose an accredited certification body like Qualitcert to assess your compliance with HACCP principles and issue certification if you meet the requirements.
