Why do I need HACCP Food Certification?

Why do I need HACCP?

Why do I need HACCP certification? There are compelling reasons beyond just client requests. We’ve identified the top 5 reasons why your business should consider HACCP certification. In food safety management, a fundamental approach to managing risk is implementing a HACCP system, which stands for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point. This system identifies, evaluates, and controls hazards significant to food safety. Interestingly, it’s not uncommon for organizations that don’t directly handle food to be asked for HACCP certification; any entity in the supply chain might be required by customers or clients to have this certification.

1. Provides confidence around the safe production of food

Often a starting point for an organisation is that a customer has requested that they are certified. Why is this the case? To receive certification an organisation needs to demonstrate it has processes in place to identify and control any food safety risks. This capability is reviewed by an independent third party prior to any certifications being issued. This is where the value in the certification lies. Consumers and customers can take assurance that the processes in place meet the requirements of established best practice.

2. Access to an increased market

As certification is a requirement for many potential customers (refer point 1 above) organisations find there is access to a greater market once they have certification. It is also something that can be used in marketing to try and gain some of that market opportunity.

3. Enhanced Reputation

One of the major risks to an organisation is a loss of reputation. Imagine the effect of an organisation that has an incident with its food handling that impacts on its customers and ultimately consumers. Food safety management helps establish a risk management framework to prevent a major loss of reputation. The other side of this is that having Food Safety Management certification helps enhance the reputation of the organisation due to the confidence it gives consumers and customers (refer point 1).

4. Improved efficiency reduction of waste and re-work

5. Employee awareness and involvement

A fundamental part of the certification process is making sure employees are adequately trained and are aware of their role in the food safety management system. This helps not only improve consistency of process but also creates a more engaged workforce.
