A HACCP – hazard analysis critical control point – system is designed to identify and control food safety risk factors., including anything with the potential to cause illness or injury to a consumer. A HACCP based system will help prevent food safety issues and food recalls from things such as foreign matter, allergens, chemicals and microbiological contaminants.
It may relate to the production, manufacture, preparation, packaging, storage, handling, transport, or distribution of food.
A Telarc audit of your HACCP programme provides a retailer or manufacturer with the assurance that you are operating effectively according to the principles of HACCP. It demonstrates your commitment to food safety.
To make things easier and more cost-effective for you, Telarc can integrate and combine audits for different standards.

How to achieve certification
Contact Telarc using our quote request form and we will help you through the process to achieve the certification(s) your organisation strives for.
The standards can be complex, but we’ve made it easy with simplified self-evaluation checklists that break down what you need to have implemented to meet the requirements of the standard. You can use the checklist to determine to what extent you already meet the requirements to become accredited, and which gaps need to be addressed.
Once you’re satisfied that your organisation meets the requirements, Telarc will audit your systems and either issue the certification or identify non-conformances that you need to address before certification is granted.
