HACCP is a "sanitary management system" to ensure food safety through autonomous and systematic management by identifying hazards that may occur at each stage from raw materials to manufacturing, processing, preservation, distribution, and cooking.
HACCP is recognized as the most effective and efficient food safety management system worldwide. The United States, Japan, the European Union, and international organizations (Codex, WHO, FAO) are also actively encouraging HACCP to be applied to all foods.
