HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) is an internationally recognized systematic approach that defines the essential requirements for ensuring food safety throughout the manufacturing process. This approach is a vital component of the CODEX General Principles of Food Hygiene and applies to the production of food, ingredients, and beverages. Built on seven core principles, HACCP focuses on identifying, evaluating, and controlling hazards that could compromise food safety.
