What is food safety?
Measures for hygiene and food safety are a set of principles, rules and procedures to ensure a high level of protection of human health and consumer interests in relation to food, including traditional products.
All food businesses involved at any stage of production, processing, storage, and/or distribution of food, should ensure food security through the implementation of a HACCP system (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points).
Food safety systems (HACCP)
The HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) is an internationally recognized methodology for the identification of critical steps where food hazards may occur, as well as exercising effective control on them. The implementation of HACCP is a response to the General rules of hygiene for Foodstuffs listed in the CODEX ALIMENTARIUS, to Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of April 29, 2004 and other national and Community legislation.
Smart HACCP

Audits to the food safety system (HACCP)
Any HACCP system requires regular audits which aim to verify the level of compliance of HACCP system with the established principles and requirements for your application. After the completion of the audit is prepared a report highlighting the non-conformities detected, as well as the possible solutions to the same.
