Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) is the internationally recognized preventive food safety system developed by the Codex Alimentarius Commission to identify, evaluate, and control biological, chemical, and physical hazards throughout the food production process.

LSQA provides independent HACCP certification, auditing, verification, and technical assessment services that help food businesses establish effective food safety systems, protect consumers, comply with regulatory requirements, and strengthen confidence across the food supply chain.

What is HACCP?

HACCP is a systematic, science-based approach to food safety management based on the Codex General Principles of Food Hygiene (CXC 1-1969, Revision 2023).

The HACCP system enables organizations to identify food safety hazards before they occur by implementing preventive controls throughout the production, processing, storage, transportation, and distribution of food products.

The system is built upon seven internationally recognized HACCP principles:

• Conduct Hazard Analysis

• Determine Critical Control Points (CCPs)

• Establish Critical Limits

• Establish Monitoring Procedures

• Establish Corrective Actions

• Establish Verification Procedures

• Maintain Documentation & Records

Together with effective Prerequisite Programs (PRPs), HACCP forms the foundation of modern food safety management systems worldwide.
