HACCP Consultation and plans

In Canada, the implementation of the prerequisite programs and HACCP plans is mandatory. If your company desires to maintain a free and open access to the export market, the implementation of HACCP systems is a necessity. Since HACCP is mandatory in the U.S., all companies who wish to export (including suppliers and clients) will have to be officially HACCP recognized by Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). The European Union (EU) and many other countries also have made HACCP mandatory by regulation.

Adequate and functional HACCP systems require a careful and professional preparation. When we mention HACCP consultation and systems, we mean the prerequisite programs and the HACCP plans for all products processed in the establishment. It is therefore very important to carefully plan the development of these programs. Inadequate design or implementation of the prerequisite programs and of the HACCP plans may not only lead to a public health risk but could also be a needless source of expenses for the processor.

The implementation of functional HACCP plans will not prevent production problems. But the HACCP plans will supply the structure necessary to rapidly identify the source of the problem and to uniformly and consistently apply the appropriate solution.
