Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) is a preventive management system used to identify and assess the risks and hazards associated with specific foods or production processes. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the system controls the identified threats “reasonably likely to occur.”

If the FDA finds violations of the Regulations, it’ll issue a warning letter and publish it publicly on its website. In especially severe cases, the FDA may suspend the registration of food facilities (which can lead to temporary or permanent shutdown).

It takes time, money, and effort to redo processes to ensure compliance if they aren’t done correctly in the first place. It can also lead to a loss of market share and competitive advantage. Consumers can also sue companies in the case of wrongful death or illness related to foodborne diseases.

Specialized processes like: Vacuum packaging raw meats, raw & frozen fish, raw poultry, hard cheeses, or raw vegetables.
Sous-vide cooking, vacuum packaging cooked foods using the cook-chill method. Specialized processes like curing, smoking, acidification of sushi rice, pickling, fermentation, among other. Every County and/or State may have differences in their requirements for HACCP, among others.

Nevertheless, every County and/or State may have differences in their requirements for HACCP.

It’s simply the verification of whether or not a farm or handling facility complies with the USDA organic regulations. The certification process itself can be performed by a private, foreign or State entity that has been accredited by the USDA.

Yes. A specific Food Safety Plan is needed for each food and for each processing system. Every food and every process poses different risks and requires different strategies and practices.

"The Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) is a private organization established under Belgian law in May 2000. GFSI is managed by the international trade association of the Consumer Goods Forum (CGF). The initiative’s main objective is to help address the global food safety crises that lead to consumers’ loss of confidence in the safety of the food they buy, the brands they love and even the food industry in general.
GFSI does not directly provide food safety certification but does recognize many certification programs that do meet the GFSI Benchmarking Requirements. Retailers and other buyers around the world today trust GFSI-recognized certification as a mark of the highest standards in food safety, giving food-related businesses holding these certificates a broader reach to global markets."
