Food Safety Standards

HACCP is a systematic approach to identifying and controlling hazards in food businesses. Hazards may be microbiological, physical or chemical materials that could pose a danger to the preparation of safe food. As of from 1998 it has been a legal requirement in Ireland for all food businesses to have a food safety management system based on the principles of HACCP.
The main benefits of HACCP for your business include:

  1. Via systematic control HACCP can prevent / reduce the likelihood of customer poisoning.
  2. Increased standards of food quality and safety.
  3. Your food business becomes compliant with the law.
  4. Can prove due diligence in the event of a court action.
  5. Your processes become structured and orgainised around food safety and quality standards.
  6. This structure promotes teamwork.
  7. Saves your business money in the long run
