Common questions

FAQs.

What are the seven HACCP principles?
Conduct a hazard analysis, determine critical control points, set critical limits, set up monitoring, define corrective actions, verify the system, and keep records and documentation.
Does this replace a certification audit?
No. It is a checklist for internal or supplier audits. Certification needs an audit by the scheme or certification body against its own requirements.
