The Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) certification enables you to demonstrate your commitment to food haccp safety and customer satisfaction, as well as continuously meeting the expectations of a changing world.
HACCP is an international principle defining the requirements for effective control of food safety. HACCP compliance / HACCP certification helps organisations focus on the hazards that affect food safety and hygiene and systematically identifies them by setting up control limits at critical points during the food production process. HACCP is built around seven principles:

• Analysis of biological, chemical or physical food hazards;
• Identification of critical control points at the raw materials, storage, processing, distribution and consumption stages;
• Establishment of critical control limits and preventive measures, for example, minimum cooking temperature and time;
• Monitoring of these critical control points;
• Establishment of corrective actions:
• Record keeping record; and
• Systematic and regular auditing of the systems in place by independent third party certification bodies.

The benefits of HACCP

HACCP Certification enhances your food safety management system and your product’s quality. It instantly demonstrates your commitment to producing or trading in safe food, which can be particularly beneficial when you are subject to inspection by regulatory authorities or stakeholders. Demonstrating a real commitment to food safety can also transform your brand and act as an effective entry-to-market tool, opening up new business opportunities around the world.

Dear Friend,

In UAE you have a clear guidline for the implementation of HACCP for food retail as well as manufacturing companies. Please refer Local Order Nos 11 and 20.

May i suggest Menu-Safe HACCPas a system specially designed for the catering industry.

It was developed by a multi-disciplinary team that included chefs. It is underpinned by 4 phd’s and about a dozen msc’s so it isn’t a paste up of other systems.

May I suggest Menu-Safe HACCP as a system specially designed for the catering industry.

I visited the website Mr Bloggs and on entrance was met by this statement:

Menu-Safe is the world's most effective Food Safety Management System for Hospitality, Catering and Food Service. It is the product of over eight years and 15,000 mandays of research, development, implementation, evaluation and validation. Menu-Safe is revolutionising how food safety is trained, implemented and managed, and is receiving universal international acclaim.

How do you validate 'the most effective Food Safety Management System in the World' claim?

Where is the evidence of universal acclaim?

In 7 years running this forum I've never heard it mentioned. Not once. Until today, by you, who quite clearly has an affiliation to the company.

If you would have bothered to read the terms and conditions of the forum you would have noticed that we do not allow commercial organization to freeload for advertising, especially a first post Charlie who has contributed precisely zilch to the discussions. In fact you do not need to read terms and conditions to understand common courtesy. Your approach pays no heed to the time, effort and sometimes money that people invest in this place making it a useful resource.

Now if you want to offer the assistance of the ‘4 phd’s and about a dozen msc’s’ answering queries here then I’m sure members will be happy of the help and I might even be a little more accommodating.

Hi everyone...my 2nd post only!

I did a search on Menu Safe here because we implementing it now in my restaurant. I want to know who else using it? LOt's of places apparantly starting to get it in Dubai., so want to know how other people like it.

We are finding it the best answer so far. I;ve done Servsafe in US amd done lots of the normal training. The MenuSafe is better as we use it every day so it's part of the work. It's very quick to understand - HACCP isn;'t normally easy but this is. I'm in charge of doing the sushi section - no problem.

Simon - please don;t shout - I'm not a Menui-Safe hired person.....! Just wamnted to share and ask what others think?

Sorry for English spelling!

Dear Chef Bloggs,

Well, I totally agree with Simon’s admonishments over claims / advertising.
With respect to the developers of MenuSafe, I do seem to recall that the elements of their work were later the basis of the SFBB system. If so, perhaps some related background info wud hv been helpful.

Looks quite comprehensive but is it really relevant for a hotel? - No

Kind regards,

Tony

[Rizwan Ahmed]

offcourse yes it provides you with the basic structure & guidelines for implementing HACCP in a hotel and how to compile your own manual.

HACCP plan and HAZARD Analysis would be different for each property depending upon the menu and processes involevd.

Hi all again

B

Both and both.

Take a look around Berent we have over 32,000 posts on all sorts of topics and the forums are filled with advice and information going way back to the beginning of 2002. Thousands of people from all over the world have and continue to benefit from the free advice and support available here on the forums.

I started designing the website at the beginning of 2001 one year later at the beginning of 2002 it went live. Over the years I have personally invested thousands of hours day and night and weekends, developing and administering the website. It is a daily job. Sometimes it’s been quite hard on the family. I have three young children. I have also invested many thousands of pounds on web design, software, programming and maintaining the site online. Of course members contribute their time and knowledge for free and it would not exist without their willingness to share and help and I am very grateful for that.

Over the years we have come to recognise freeloaders and members who see the site and think that it’s a quick and easy route for some free promotion. You wouldn’t believe how many dubious characters are happy to abuse others hard work and goodwill and you can understand our animosity to such people. I don’t just mean myself; other members are aware and watch out for this. Your opening post sounded rather fishy. A bit like a racist who says “I’m not a racist but…” It could be a misunderstanding and I hope that you are who you say you are and I am happy to trust you.

If we want to sell products, services or indeed anything else on the website it is of absolutely no concern of yours. You registered with the forums little over a week ago on the 24-January 2010 and you cannot begin to understand the history of the site or our culture.

If you want to stick around and use the website to network with members and share ideas, best practice and knowledge I welcome you with open arms and you are free to do so free of any charge. It’s your choice.

Now can we get back to the topic.

Regards,
Simon

I'm working in Food Safety field..... Anyone can help me to give the idea about implementing HACCP system in hotels kitchens as general? Is it urgent? Thank you

Dear All,

 

I'm working in a 5 star hotel also and we now would like to implement HACCP system in the hotel, I've tried to find relevant informaion on internet and lucky me, I found this topic which may close long time ago... Please if anyone still stay in this topic, can you please help me to clear where can I start to work with HACCP, I've read alot of documents and join some training course, however it still seems to be difficult to me. It looks like we have to establish a HACCP commitee first then write down all policies and procedures rite?

 

We have a challenge that it looks like every other department not really interested in the plan and I'm afraid that it will affect to the effectiveness of the HACCP system.

Can anyone please share me your experience in implementing HACCP in hotels? how to get everybody interested in the plan?

 

Thank you so much for your support,

 

Fyi, I'm Huong from Ha Noi, Viet Nam,

 

Thanks,
