What Is HACCP?

HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) is an international food safety management system that identifies and controls hazards proactively. Recognised as a standard by the Codex Alimentarius, HACCP is adopted in EU-aligned regulations including Northern Cyprus.

How Does HACCP Work?

HACCP rests on seven principles: 1) hazard analysis, 2) identifying critical control points, 3) setting critical limits, 4) monitoring procedures, 5) corrective actions, 6) verification procedures, 7) record keeping. In the cold chain, temperature is often the most important critical limit; excursions trigger product quarantine and assessment processes.

Dairy and halloumi production
Meat and poultry processing facilities
Fruit, vegetable and citrus packaging
Mass catering production and HoReCa supply
