Listen to this siteSafe Catering is FSA Northern Ireland's food safety management guide. It has been developed with help and expertise from the food industry and local authorities. This guide will help catering businesses to produce a food safety management plan based on HACCP principles and to keep records appropriate to their business.
HACCP means Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points. This is a process that helps you look at how you handle food and introduce procedures to make sure the food you produce is safe to eat.
HACCP involves the following seven steps:
Your HACCP plan must be kept up to date. You will need to review it from time to time, especially whenever something in your food operation changes.
You may also wish to ask your local Environmental Health Officer for advice.
Remember that, even with a HACCP plan in place, you must comply with all requirements of current food safety legislation.
