About HACCP

Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) is widely acknowledged as an effective tool in the management of food hygiene and safety in food production. First developed to ensure safe for American astronauts in space, the 7 principles of the system are now adopted by the Codex Alimentarius Commission, which implements the joint FAO/WHO food Standards Program.

HACCP encompasses procedures to reduce the risk of food-borne outbreaks and monitors practices throughout an operation to ensure food safety. It can be considered as the science of food safety rules and principles.

 

About The Seminar cum Workshop

The concept of HACCP from its origin to present day status will be explained. Participants will be given hands-on experience, through group exercises, on the various stages of implementation of HACCP in different food service settings, eg restaurants, food manufacturing.
