HACCP
As a Food Business Operator (FBO) food safety legislation means your organisation must employ a food safety management system. Depending on your nature of your food business, product, services and customers, i.e. business to business or business to consumer, a number of options are available to you.
Industry led standards include Global Gap, IFS Food, BRC Food or ISO 22000:2018.
Retail organisations may apply less comprehensive solutions to legislative requirements – HACCP.
(Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Plan) is a systematic approach to identifying and controlling hazards in food businesses. Hazards may be microbiological, physical or chemical materials that could pose a danger to the preparation of safe food. As of from 1998 it has been a legal requirement in Ireland for all food businesses to have a food safety management system based on the principles of HACCP.
