Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point Training
HACCP Food Safety - Training in the Principles and Implementation
Introduction
Food safety is everyone’s responsibility. Farmers and growers, manufacturers and processors, food handlers and consumers, all have a responsibility to assure that food is safe and suitable for consumption. Outbreaks of food-borne illness are at best unpleasant; at worst, they can be fatal. Other consequences include damage to trade and tourism which can lead to loss of earnings, unemployment and litigation.
Food businesses need to implement food safety systems to ensure that they take food safety hazards into consideration and put in place control measures to deal with them. The Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) is the globally recognized approach for developing a food safety system.

Food safety and hygiene has never been more important as we navigate through these unprecedented times. Not only is food essential for health and well being but may also be a cause of illness. Food-borne illness can have seriously damaging effects on individuals.
