What is a HACCP Plan?
A HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) plan is a systematic document that identifies food safety hazards at each step of your production process, determines which steps are critical control points, and establishes monitoring procedures to ensure those controls are working effectively.
The HACCP plan is a legal requirement in most countries for food businesses. It follows the seven principles established by the Codex Alimentarius Commission and is the foundation of any food safety management system, whether you operate under ISO 22000, BRCGS, FSSC 22000 or national regulations.
What's Included
Our HACCP plan template provides the worksheets and frameworks to develop a robust hazard analysis and control system, using a chilled cooked ready meal as a worked example that you replace with your own validated values. The pack includes:
- Product description and intended use template (one study per product or product group)
- Step-by-step process flow template, with a process flow verification log
- Hazard analysis worksheet (biological, chemical including allergen, physical)
- CCP determination decision logic and summary table
- Hazard control plan table for each CCP: critical limit, monitoring, corrections, corrective action, verification and records
- Monitoring logs for CCPs and OPRPs
- Verification and validation activities schedule
- Prerequisite programmes (PRP) manual and a 14-sheet forms and logs workbook (cleaning, pest control, allergen matrix, temperature, traceability and more)
Why You Need a HACCP Plan
Every food business must be able to demonstrate that it has identified potential hazards and put controls in place to manage them. A well-documented HACCP plan delivers several critical benefits:
- Structured approach to identifying and controlling food safety hazards at every process step
- Follows the seven internationally recognised (Codex Alimentarius) HACCP principles
- Provides documented evidence of due diligence for regulators and retail auditors
- Integrates directly with ISO 22000 and BRCGS food safety management systems
Without a documented HACCP plan, food businesses face regulatory enforcement action, loss of customer contracts and — most importantly — increased risk of a food safety incident that could harm consumers.
