Why Certify

Benefits of HACCP Certification

HACCP is the foundation of food safety management — protecting consumers and opening doors to global food markets.

Prevent Food Safety Hazards

Proactively identify biological, chemical, and physical hazards and implement controls before they impact consumers.

Meet Regulatory Requirements

Angola requires HACCP rules for food service establishments — restaurants, catering, cafés and similar — under Presidential Decree 63/23, and export buyers commonly ask for it.

Reduce Product Recalls

Systematic hazard controls and CCP monitoring significantly reduce the risk of contamination and costly recalls.

Access Export Markets

HACCP-based controls are required under EU and US food safety rules, and certification is widely requested by international buyers.

Build Consumer Trust

Demonstrate to retailers, distributors, and end consumers that your food production meets internationally recognised safety standards.

Foundation for ISO 22000:2018

HACCP forms the core of ISO 22000:2018 — certifying HACCP is an important step toward broader food safety management system certification.

What It Covers

HACCP is based on seven internationally accepted principles developed by the Codex Alimentarius Commission — the global food standards body.

Monitoring procedures for each CCP
Corrective actions when critical limits are exceeded
Verification procedures to confirm HACCP effectiveness
Recordkeeping and documentation system
Prerequisite Programs (PRPs) for hygiene and sanitation
