5 Overview
HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) is a systematic preventive approach to food safety that identifies physical, chemical, and biological hazards in production processes and designs controls to reduce risks [1]. HACCP is REQUIRED in EU food manufacturing and widely adopted globally. For supplements, HACCP certification means the manufacturer has identified all hazards in their production process (from raw material receipt through packaging) and established critical control points with monitoring procedures [1]. HACCP is a component of both ISO 22000 and FSSC 22000. Unlike GMP (which focuses on 'how' to manufacture), HACCP focuses on 'what can go wrong' and how to prevent it [1].
