Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) is a globally recognised process control system designed to identify and prevent microbial and other hazards in food production and the entire food chain.
HACCP Certification in Atlanta ensures a comprehensive, systematic and effective approach to producing safe food. Through this system, potential problems are identified and addressed before they arise, and any deviations discovered are corrected in an organized fashion. The rigorous documentation and verification procedures of HACCP have been widely recognized and accepted by scientific authorities and international organizations alike.
Food safety is one of the most critical topics of discussion in developing countries all over the world. Foodborne illness can be a fatal concern when food regulations are lacking or nonexistent. HACCP certification is a way for these countries to ensure a safe food preparation environment by using its four fundamental principles: monitoring, prevention, manipulation, and maintenance of the safety properties of foods throughout the production process.
If you produce, process, distribute, export, or handle food products, HACCP certification is the best way to ensure your products are safe and of the highest quality.

Answer: What is HACCP?
Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) is a preventive food safety system that identifies, evaluates, and controls biological, chemical, and physical hazards across your entire process—from receiving to distribution.
Answer: Who needs HACCP?
Food manufacturers, processors, packers, distributors, and many foodservice operations benefit from HACCP. In some sectors (e.g., meat/poultry, seafood, juice), regulators require HACCP-based controls.
Answer: 7 principles
1) Conduct hazard analysis; 2) Identify Critical Control Points (CCPs); 3) Establish critical limits; 4) Establish monitoring; 5) Establish corrective actions; 6) Establish verification; 7) Establish documentation & record-keeping.
Answer: HACCP vs ISO 22000/FSSC 22000
HACCP is the core risk-based method. ISO 22000/FSSC 22000 are full Food Safety Management Systems that integrate HACCP with management system requirements (e.g., context, leadership, risk & opportunities, internal audits, continual improvement).
Answer: PRPs
PRPs like GMPs, sanitation, pest control, allergen management, supplier approval, maintenance, and training create a hygienic foundation. Strong PRPs reduce the number of CCPs and make your HACCP plan effective and auditable.
Answer: CCP vs oPRP
A CCP is a step where control is essential to prevent or eliminate a hazard (e.g., cook to ≥ critical temperature). An oPRP (operational PRP) controls significant hazards but isn’t managed as a CCP (e.g., metal detection with defined performance criteria).
Answer: Documentation
Product descriptions, flow diagrams, hazard analysis, CCP decision trees, critical limits with scientific validation, monitoring & verification procedures, corrective actions, calibration, training, and retained records (e.g., cook logs, CCP checks).
Answer: Mandatory?
Regulators mandate HACCP-based controls for certain products and operations. Third-party certification to a HACCP standard isn’t always required, but many buyers (retailers, brands) demand it for supplier approval and market access.
Answer: Timeline
Typical timelines range from 8–20 weeks depending on complexity, product risk, existing PRPs, staff training, and audit readiness. Multi-site or high-risk processes may take longer due to validation and verification requirements.
Answer: Training
At minimum: food safety & hygiene for all staff, HACCP awareness for supervisors, and formal HACCP training for the plan team (including a qualified lead). Keep training records and refresh when processes or hazards change.
Answer: Review frequency
Review at least annually and whenever there are changes—new ingredients, suppliers, equipment, processes, volumes, packaging, or after incidents (complaints, nonconformities, recalls).
Answer: Consultant support
A consultant (e.g., TopCertifier) can perform a gap assessment, build PRPs, facilitate hazard analysis, set CCPs & critical limits, draft SOPs & records, train teams, run mock audits, and support third-party certification and customer audits.

It streamlined a lot of processes. Very pleased. We thought it would be a horrendous amount of work, but were greatly surprised and pleased instead.
The process improvement training was fantastic. Since our focus was more on process improvement than certification it really helped the team.
Did exactly what was required without going overboard. A manageable system. Worked with existing systems. It was easy to step up and improve.
