Food Safety Systems

 

 
  • Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs)
    GMPs are the basic operational and environmental conditions required to produce safe foods. They ensure that ingredients, products and packaging materials are handled safely and that food products are processed in a suitable environment.
     
  • Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP)
    HACCP is a food safety system designed to identify and control hazards that may occur in the food production process. HACCP focuses on preventing potential problems that are critical to food safety known as ‘critical control points’ (CCP).
     
  • ISO 22000
    ISO 22000 is an internationally recognized and auditable management system, specific to food safety. It incorporates the GMP and HACCP elements of other food safety systems, as well as a management system based on ISO 9000 principles.
     
  • Food Safety Enhancement Program (FSEP)
         FSEP is the Canadian Food Inspection Agency's (CFIA) approach to encourage and support the development, implementation and maintenance of HACCP systems in all federally registered establishments.
