Hi memory,

 

Thanks for the Query and Welcome to the Forum !

 

You have 2 interlinked requests - 

 

(1) how to develop a haccp plan.

(2) how to implement it

 

We can offer a lot of suggestions but a  little more info might assist -

 

(a) Is this a restaurant, foodservice function, manufacturing facility (eg chilled/frozen finished product)  or ?

(b) Are you planning to seek certification to any particular Food Safety  standard, eg BRC ?

(c) What level of QA technical ability is available in the company ?

(d) Anyone with HACCP experience/training ?

If you have no knowledge or understanding of HACCP you may want to read Codex Alimentarius

 

Regards,

Simon

Hi Memory:

 

We just completed the whole HACCP process and were certified in February 2015 with an excellent rating.  I can only speak from my experience:  About 4 of us took the HACCP certifed training, then we brought in an outside consultant who met with us, gave us all the templates and got us started.  We sat down, went through the hazard analysis step by step and wrote our whole plan.  We are a very small food processor, but it was worth the investment.  Hope this helps.

I would suggest meeting with someone who has undertaken the process, which might be a consultant, but might equally be someone within your business or within the sector to get an idea from their experience of how to proceed. Training is an essential element for the team once you start, and you need to sell it to the senior management in the first instance as the commitment of the top of the organisation to the process is required in order to convince others that they should, or if necessary must play their part.
