HACCP

HACCP stands for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points and is a preventive system to warrant the safety of foods and consumers.

The HACCP concept demands

• • that all dangers in the area of responsibility of a company for the safety of the foods be analysed,
  • that the control points critical for food safety be determined,
  • that action thresholds be determined for the critical control points,
  • that procedures of continuous monitoring of the critical control points be introduced,
  • that corrective measures be determined for the case of deviations,
  • that the system is verified to ensure food safety suitability and
  • that all measures be documented
 

The HACCP concept was first anchored in German law in the foodstuffs hygiene ordinance (Lebensmittelhygiene-Verordnung) in 1998 and entered into effect in the European Union's hygiene package in 2006.

The company BRANOpac GmbH has rendered the HACCP proof and is regularly audited in this respect.
