What is HACCP Training?

Hazard analysis and critical control points, or HACCP, is a food safety management system that addresses food safety by analyzing and controlling biological, chemical, and physical hazards related to preparing, producing, handling, and consuming food products.

The majority of the top food manufacturers, food processors and food vendors worldwide use the HACCP food safety system to manage food safety throughout the food supply chain and comply with GFSI audit schemes.
