HACCP — Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points.
The preventive food-safety system behind almost every food regulation: identify hazards, control them at critical points, prove it.
What it is
HACCP is the systematic preventive approach that underpins modern food safety law: analyze hazards, identify Critical Control Points (CCPs), set critical limits, monitor, correct, verify, and document. It is mandatory in the US for juice and seafood (FDA) and meat and poultry (USDA), embedded in FSMA’s preventive-controls thinking, and required as the foundation of every GFSI certification scheme.
Who it applies to
Every food processor and co-packer. If a customer audits you, HACCP documentation is the first thing they open.
The evidence auditors expect
- A current hazard analysis for every product and process line
- CCP monitoring records with critical limits and frequencies
- Corrective action records for every deviation
- Verification and validation records (calibration, reviews, testing)
- Supplier controls: approved-supplier list, specs and COAs for incoming materials
How ComplianceFlow keeps you ready
- Supplier COAs are verified against your specifications automatically — the incoming-materials leg of your hazard controls
- Missing or out-of-spec documents surface as risks the day they happen, not at verification review
- Every monitoring decision keeps its reviewer, date and evidence — the trail a HACCP auditor walks
