HACCP
Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points
HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) is the internationally recognised food safety management system. It provides a systematic approach to identifying and controlling food safety hazards — protecting consumers and meeting regulatory requirements worldwide.
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
The 7 Principles of HACCP
HACCP is based on seven internationally accepted principles developed by the Codex Alimentarius Commission — the global food standards body.
