Preparing an effective food
safety management system is a worthwhile investment to ensure food safety,
consumer protection and compliance with the requirements of food
law.
MyHACCP provides you with a
suite of downloadable template documents to support your controls, including
monitoring record sheets, to help you embed your HACCP study and bring it to
life. The tool also provides guidance and links to relevant information to help
you complete the process. If you need to review or change your study to
accommodate new products or a change in processing method, simply log back into
MyHACCP, call up your stored HACCP study, amend it and print the new
version.
John Barnes, Head of Local
Delivery at the Food Standards Agency, said: 'MyHACCP is a free tool to
help small food businesses make sure they have an effective food safety
management system in place. Many food businesses we’ve spoken to have
asked for more support to help them ensure and demonstrate that they have HACCP
under control – this tool will help businesses to develop their system
and embed it into their everyday practices.'
Chris Grimes, Director of the
trade association group SALSA, said: 'A thorough HACCP study and well
executed plan are fundamental for a successful food safety management system
and certification to food safety standards. MyHACCP provides a useful guide to
follow the process and a helpful tool for recording the study and producing a
practical plan.'
Barbara Gallani, Director of
Regulation, Science & Health at the Food and Drink Federation, said:
'Food safety is of paramount importance to food and drink businesses
operating in the UK. We welcome the launch of this new tool to help small and
medium sized producers to develop and maintain robust food safety management
systems based on HACCP principles. FDF will publicise the availability of this
new resource to its SME members.'
