HACCP-based food safety management
HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) is a system that helps food business operators look at how they handle food and introduces procedures to make sure the food produced is safe to eat.
As part of routine inspections, the enforcement officer will check that the business has an appropriate HACCP-based food safety management system in place.
