Requirements for any Organization in the Food Chain

Objectives: Integrating HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point), prerequisite programs (Good Manufacturing Practices, infrastructure…) and Quality Management Systems (ISO 9001:2008) in the food chain, leading to a food safety management system.

Benefit: The workshop on HACCP and Quality Management Systems is designed to integrate quality with food hygiene and food safety (HACCP). The requirement of the Codex Alimentarius Commission from the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization) and WHO (World Health Organization) are intimately integrated with the Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and the Quality Management Systems requirements of ISO 9001:2008, to produce a management system that addresses both the Safety and Quality in the food chain. Organizations with or without previous HACCP and / or ISO 9000 implementation will benefit from this approach and assure continual sustainability to the organization and its customers.

Who Should Attend: Any organization directly and indirectly involved in the food chain: feed producers, farmers, food manufacturers, food services, organizations providing cleaning, storage, transportation and delivery services, suppliers of equipment, cleaning agents, packaging material, etc…
