What is HACCP?
HACCP stands for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point it is a systematic approach to identifying and controlling hazards that could pose a danger to the preparation of safe food.
Above all, it’s about ensuring food is safe for consumption. In other words, HACCP helps operating a safe kitchen, canteen, deli, or food preparation area.
The principles of HACCP have been developed to protect against poisoning. The growing, delivery, preparing, and serving of food are all a part of this.
What are the risks from bacteria?
In the right conditions 1 bacteria can become 1 million in 4 to 5 hours. 1 million bacteria are so small they could all live on the head of a pin. But it only takes around 200,000 bacteria for a healthy adult to become ill.
Consequently, most people will experience a foodborne disease at some point in their lives.
Why is HACCP training important?
All staff who work in the food industry must do their part to make sure food is safe.
Bacteria, parasites, viruses, toxins, and chemicals can all make food poisonous.
Food can be contaminated at any point during production, preparation, and distribution.
Training staff on how to work safely is an important part of management systems
