to food safety that identifies, evaluates, and controls biological, chemical, and physical hazards throughout the food production process.

Rather than relying only on end-product testing, HACCP focuses on preventing hazards at every stage — from raw material sourcing and manufacturing to packaging, storage, and distribution.

This certification is recognized by the Codex Alimentarius Commission, FSSAI (India), and international food safety authorities (FDA, WHO, ISO 22000).
