HACCP certification

Updated to reflect Codex HACCP 2020, our new programme includes requirements around food safety culture, allergen labelling as well as training and risk awareness to help you reassure your customers about the safety of your products. Certifying to our criteria can help you demonstrate your commitment to a preventative, risk-based HACCP management system. 

Our HACCP criteria meet the requirements of the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) – established by the World Health Organization and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations to bring together international food standards, guidelines and codes of practice to ensure fair trade. It can also be used to support the requirements of management standard requirements, such as ISO 22000 food safety management.
