    HACCP Food Safety Programs

    A HACCP Food Safety Plan, an essential part of a Food Safety Program, is a set of written procedures based on the 7 principles of HACCP that help reduce food safety hazards in a food business.

    If you need to create a Food Safety Plan but don't know what it is or where to start, CIFS can help.

    For Business

    How to handle food for public consumption isn't always common sense. Small mistakes are what usually lead to big problems.
