 “The strength of this program is that so many companies have adopted it, in a consistent format. In some other countries, companies go to different suppliers to get HACCP certified and you can’t really compare standards very well. The consistent standards of FeedAssure™ increase its credibility with all stakeholders. “ Victor Muliyil, Technical Manager, North America, SGS HACCP/Food Safety Services | ||

What is HACCP? HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points) is a systems approach to food safety that aims to prevent the physical, chemical or biological contamination of food products. HACCP moves beyond the traditional safety approach of spot-checks of manufacturing conditions and random sampling of final products. It is a real-time control system applied to the ongoing manufacturing process. HACCP's systems approach gives it more preventive power and minimizes the need for sampling of finished products. First developed for NASA by Pillsbury in the late 1950’s to control the safety of food consumed by astronauts, HACCP has now become the internationally recognized and recommended approach to ensure food safety. | ||
