The Health Control Plan is a set of compulsory documents describing the measures taken by the business to ensure health safety and hygiene.
The Health Control Plan makes it possible to obtain health certification in order to make your business and its products available to the public.
Your Health Control Plan must consist of 4 major categories:
For implementation of your Health Control Plan, you can and should consult the good hygiene practices guide for your line of business.
In this guide, you will find good hygiene practices, all the right procedures aimed at controlling the hygiene of foodstuffs, animal feed and animal by-products, depending on your line of business. In your guide, you will also discover the regulatory obligations to be complied with, in particular the health rules defined by regulations (EC) 852/2004, 183/2005 and 1069/2009.
The good hygiene practices guide is a document prepared by professionals for professionals. It is used as a reference during official inspections of food chain professionals.
The objective of the guide is to pool the first steps of the HACCP method by implementing concrete health control steps specific to each food sector and adapted to the structure of the business concerned.
HACCP means Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point.
HACCP is a method and not a standard. It is aimed at identifying, assessing and controlling major hazards related to the safety of foodstuffs.
HACCP is included in various standards such as ISO 9001, ISO 9002, ISO 22000, IFS and the 2006 Hygiene Package.
You will be required to submit your HACCP method when you apply for health certification allowing you to certify compliance of your business with health standards, in order to open your business to the public.
It is therefore necessary to prepare your HACCP method very carefully. We will now address a few points to help you prepare the method.
Preparing an HACCP method will require 12 steps which are the following:
