Benefits of HACCP
• A
preventative approach to food safety
• Can help identify process improvements
• Reduces the need for, and the cost of
end product testing. In
most cases end product testing is not
feasible anyway.
• Is complementary to quality management
systems such as ISO 9000
• Provides evidence of due diligence and
hence mitigates the prospect of being sued
in a court of law
• Reduces the likelihood of product recall
& adverse publicity
• Enhances customer satisfaction and faith
in the continuing suitability of the
product for human consumption/ reduces
dissatisfaction
• Facilitates better understanding of food
packaging safety
concerns throughout the organisation
• Improves staff performance through the
promotion of team spirit and joint
responsibility
• Improves staff morale and motivation
through a cleaner working environment.
Makes the staff aware that a failure could
result in closing down of the
establishment and consequent loss of jobs.
