How is Your HACCP?

Whether you're producing cheese, brewing beer, roasting coffee or making ready meals, having a clear, compliant HACCP plan is not just a best practice, it’s a legal requirement and a key pillar of consumer trust.

Yet, according to a recent FSA survey, 32% of small UK food businesses still struggle to implement a documented food safety management system. With food safety legislation and buyer expectations becoming more rigorous, ensuring your HACCP system is fit for purpose, up to date and well understood by your team has never been more important.

SALSA is offering two targeted training courses this July, designed to support producers at different stages of their HACCP journey. Both are accredited by The Institute of Food Science and Technology and delivered in small, interactive groups.
