H A C C P   Programs are the Basis For All Food Safety Plans



  

In the food industry, the purpose of HACCP is to identify and prevent hazards that could cause food borne illness.  HACCP is meant for more than just the prevention of food borne illness, it is to protect the consumer with any type of harm they may encounter from food they consume.  Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) is a process control system designed to identify hazards in food production. It includes steps designed to prevent problems before they occur and to correct deviations as soon as they are detected. This is the most effective approach for producing safe food. ASI Food Safety Consultants has been teaching HACCP for many years, as well as writing HACCP Programs.

The International HACCP Alliance was developed on March 25, 1994, to provide a uniform program to assure safer meat and poultry products. It is housed within the Department of Animal Science at Texas A&M University. ASI Food Safety Consultants is a member of the HACCP Alliance.

The HACCP Alliance recognizes that food safety is a critical component of the future of the food industry. The mission of the HACCP Alliance is to promote international public health and food safety by facilitating uniform development and implementation of HACCP Programs, from farm to floor. ASI Food Safety Consultants can provide a HACCP Alliance approved, in-house Principles of HACCP seminar.

Not only are HACCP Programs the Basis for All Food Safety Plans, HACCP is also required by law under the Food Safety Modernization Act.

These are the HACCP SERVICES that ASI provides:

Comprehensive HACCP Program Write-Up:

ASI can come into your facility and work side by side with you to write up your comprehensive HACCP Program. You know your facility and product lines, ASI knows HACCP.

Validate your Current HACCP Plan:

ASI will determine if the current HACCP Program is adequately designed to control unidentified hazards in order to produce a safe product.

Verify Your Written HACCP Plan:

Is your HACCP Plan working? A verified written HACCP Program is the foundation for any one of the GFSI Benchmarked Standards audits. ASI’s HACCP experts can be the outside eyes to determine if your HACCP Plan is working.

Present a Principles of HACCP Seminar:

ASI can come on site to your facility and teach your staff the Principles of HACCP or the Principles of HACCP/Codex. During this seminar we will also teach the step-by-step procedures of writing a HACCP Program and can even work with you to write your customized HACCP Program.
