HACCP
Category: Quality
Also searched as: HACCP
Definition (plain English)
A preventive food-safety system that identifies hazards, critical control points, monitoring rules, corrective actions, and records for food production and handling.
Why it matters commercially
HACCP evidence helps buyers judge whether a supplier can control food-safety risk before production, shipment, and customer distribution.
Example
A chilled-food importer checked the HACCP plan for temperature controls, metal detection, allergen handling, and corrective-action logs before releasing the first PO.
Common mistake
Treating HACCP as a certificate to file away instead of checking the product scope, process flow, control points, and audit findings.
