In today’s blog I will be taking you through HACCP certification in Qatar; I will be explaining you the details of HACCP, principles underlying HACCP, its implementation in The State of Qatar and how can you get HACCP certification for your organization. Let me give you a brief about ISO; ISO stands for International Organization for Standardization is an independent global organization that sets international standard right from finished products, food safety, and healthcare to technology etc. It was founded in the year 1947 and it has grown leaps and bounds from then on; presently it has members from across 167 countries. It is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland; and they meet annually in General Assembly to discuss further strategies and its implementation. ISO has published more than 21,000 standards till date and one among them HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points).
Details about HACCP
HACCP stands for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points; this standard set up by ISO is dedicated to food safety methods through analysis and control of any physical, biological, chemical hazard or contamination of food at any place in the food cycle. HACCP is more about elimination of these hazards at any point in the food cycle rather than only just inspecting food.
There are 7 core principles pertaining to HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point), I will be discussing them below to make you understand properly.
- Conducting Hazard Analysis
In this part the hazard is checked and considered; a hazard may be physical, chemical, biological and nowadays even radiological.
- Identifying Critical Control Points
It is a point in the entire manufacturing where controls can be applied to prevent any hazard.
- Setting limits for each critical control points
It is the process of setting critical limits which may be maximum or minimum depending on the process to which a hazard can be controlled at critical control point.
- Monitoring of Critical Control data
It is the process of monitoring critical control points, critical control limits as it is the most crucial thing to control hazard.
- Corrective actions
It is process of taking correct steps whenever there is a deviation in the reading of critical control points, critical control limits.
- Verification of HACCP system
It helps to establish the fact that the HACCP system employed for the particular process is fine and working properly.
- Keeping Record
One of the most important part in this HACCP process is to document everything the critical control points, critical control limits or any deviation related to it.
