HACCP compliance
Safeguard consumer safety by adopting best in class HACCP principles using quality management software.
Easily identify and act on hazards
Organizations in the food industry are required to have a plan in place to manage food safety hazards based on the principles of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP). This ensures good hygiene practices are followed throughout every step of the manufacturing process, from production through to the supply chain, ensuring high quality from source to sale.
- Prevent common hazards
- Comply with key regulations
- Monitor risks and trends
Effective record keeping and documentation
A key component in managing food hazards is effective document control. This ensures the traceability, accessibility, and security of various records—from hazard analyses and critical control points to procedures and verification activities. It centralizes important information, making it a valuable asset in the implementation of HACCP.
- Documents available at point of need
- Robust version control
- Track changes to processes
Meeting HACCP principles
Adherence to HACCP requires a comprehensive understanding and control of all potential food safety hazards within a production process. This necessitates an accurate and efficient system to manage, monitor, and mitigate these risks throughout the entire supply chain. Ideagen quality management solutions deliver just that.

HACCP FAQs
What is the purpose of HACCP?
HACCP is designed to enhance food safety. It focuses on identifying and controlling potential hazards in food production, from biological and chemical risks to physical dangers, to prevent foodborne illnesses.
How does HACCP benefit the food industry?
HACCP provides a systematic approach to food safety, minimizing the risk of contamination and enhancing consumer trust. It also helps food businesses meet regulatory requirements and improve overall efficiency.
Can HACCP be integrated with other food safety management systems?
Yes, HACCP can be integrated with other systems like ISO 22000 for a more comprehensive approach to food safety. It forms the core of many such systems, providing a solid foundation for effective risk management.
How does quality management software aid in HACCP implementation?
Quality management software, like Ideagen's, simplifies the implementation of HACCP. It streamlines record-keeping, automates the identification of hazards and Critical Control Points (CCPs), and enables real-time monitoring and corrective actions.
Why is digital record-keeping essential in HACCP?
Digital record-keeping ensures that all data related to hazards, CCPs, and verification activities are accessible, accurate, and up to date. Quality management software provides a centralized platform for this, improving traceability and compliance.
What are the basic principles of HACCP?
HACCP operates through seven principles: Conduct a hazard analysis, identify critical control points, establish critical limits for each control point, set up systems to monitor control of CCPs.
Determine corrective actions, establish verification procedures to confirm that the HACCP system is effective and establish documentation and record keeping.
