HACCP Audit Checklist

How It Works

The HACCP Certification Process

Implementing a HACCP-based food safety system first requires that your company  implement robust GMPs  or pre-requisite programs. Once these programs are documented, trained and implemented, you may develop one or more HACCP plans following the 12 steps of the Codex guidelines. The number of HACCP plans or studies you will develop and validate are based on the products you manufacture and the complexity of your process. Food manufacturers that have implemented Pre-requisite Programs (GMP) and HACCP may choose to become HACCP certified. The certification process takes the form of a yearly third-party audit. An audit is an objective assessment of your food safety system by a respected certification body/auditing agency. Contact our HACCP Consultants to find out more about the food safety certification process. Trust the experts. We have some of the highest credentials in the industry.

Prefer to get started on your own? Purchase our HACCP certification bundle and access examples of completed compliance documents such as a Codex Compliant HACCP plan and site Pre-requisite Procedures at an affordable cost. Note: Our GMP program is detailed and references Canadian GMP regulations. The templates may be used towards meeting cGMP requirements too.

FAQs

What is HACCP?

Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) is a preventative and systematic approach to food safety. Its principles are internationally recognised. Under HACCP, preventative controls address biological, chemical and physical hazards associated with food handling and production. HACCP principles can be applied at any point of the food supply chain.

What is the cost and turnover time for Sirocco to prepare a Codex HACCP Plan?

Prices start at $1200 USD for one custom HACCP study/one process. It takes our team seven business days to complete and deliver the HACCP plan once we receive and confirm all the information needed about the company’s product and process.

Interested in a review of your existing plan by a HACCP expert? We charge $240 USD per review.

What are Good Manufacturing Practices?

Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) provide basic operating conditions, minimal hygienic requirements for the production of safe food. GMPs are internationally recognized and originate from Codex Alimentarius guidelines. GMPs form the pre-requisites or foundation of HACCP. When seeking food safety certification, you need to implement strong GMP procedures prior to developing and implementing a HACCP plan. Interested in a professionally written GMP procedure manual for your business, download our HACCP templates.

What is GFSI?

The Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) is a non-profit organisation that provides food safety leadership and benchmarks private standards to ensure minimum food safety requirements for the global food industry. The GFSI-benchmarked standards incorporate HACCP principles and best practices in quality and food safety management. Standard requirements are designed to meet business objectives such as regulatory compliance, food safety, food security, product quality and continuous improvement.

What Clients Are Saying

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you Karine Lawrence for the excellent PCQI V2 course you taught. I truly appreciated how detailed and thorough you were in your explanations. You took the time to ensure I understood the concepts, and I learned a great deal from you.

Your patience and the way you clarified each point made the training very effective. I feel much more confident now, and I know I will be able to apply the knowledge and skills I gained in my career moving forward.

I’m very grateful for the time and effort you spent with me. Thank you again for such a valuable learning experience.

It was a pleasure working with Karine throughout the process of getting our first SQF certification completed on a deadline. Having no in-house experience in the process of setting up a proper SQF level system and being audited, the resources and expertise that Karine was able to offer us was irreplaceable. The SQF templates were instrumental in getting our internal paperwork organized in time and the onsite consulting ensured that our facility passed with flying colours. She gave us much-needed confidence during a very stressful process.

Karine was the best part of this [SQF] course. It is clear that she is an authority in many processes based on the examples provided. I like that Karine went into detail and spoke of her own experiences. I really enjoyed how she kept everyone engaged.

We had the privilege of working with Karine at Sirocco Food + Wine Consulting for a gap assessment of our facility to SQF standards. Karine demonstrated exceptional expertise, provided a very thorough and insightful analysis, and really went above and beyond to take the time to clearly explain each requirement and provide suggestions. She developed a comprehensive, actionable report despite a tight timeline, and would highly recommend her services to any organization.

MG, Food Scientist

I have had the pleasure of working with Karine for over a year now. She helped our company pass our first SQF audit Ed. 8.1 with a score of 94. For our recertification audit, which was on SQF Ed. 9.0, Karine visited our site and performed a gap assessment. She was able to identify a lot of areas for improvement and with her help our company passed the audit and achieved a score of 96. Karine is really knowledgeable on SQF. She is easy to work with and extremely helpful.

We successfully passed our initial HACCP certification audit, without a single finding! While this seemed quite surprising, I then realized that this was due to the thorough gap assessment provided by Sean Xia at Sirocco Consulting, along with additional documentation support.

Sean inspected our facility and dug through all of our systems and records in such detail as to be able to expose all of our issues. We were then provided with our initial HACCP plan and a set of GMP documentation that we were able to edit and integrate with our existing documentation. But these documents were not just provided to us, they were each individually reviewed in a handover that provided further insights. And Sean also made himself available for future questions – such amazing support!

As we proceeded to work through implementation of the new GMP’s and to address all items in the gap assessment, I felt quite confident – albeit a bit trepidatious – about the pending audit. However, on the audit date, things went so much more smoothly than I ever could have imagined.

Thank you, Sirocco!

Sean

My company needed to create a more robust Preventative Control Plan than what we had, and I am so thankful to have found Sirocco Food + Wine Consulting. Their templates were just what I needed, and Karine and Sean were readily available to answer my questions and provide guidance when necessary. Karine and her team are highly competent, knowledgeable, friendly, and prompt to respond with help. I can’t recommend them enough!

Craig Stuart

Karine is such a wonderful teacher. As a student for the PCQI hybrid course I learned a lot from the virtual course but was left with a lot of questions. I was looking forward to the instructor-led course to get some more practice and answers to my questions. Karine was clear and thorough in her explanations. Her consulting business experience gave her a plethora of examples to draw from. I was impressed by her ability to address my questions and give me resources to continue my study. She is very well versed in the regulations required and is up to date on any changes or new publications that may influence your business. She was very accommodating to my needs. I highly recommend taking a class from Karine. She is an expert in her field. I left the class feeling confident in my ability to act as a PCQI and make a positive impact on my company.

I have been very pleased and satisfied with the SQF Bundle edition 9 developed by Karine Lawrence from Sirocco Food + Wine Consulting.
All procedures (templates) are professionally and beautifully written, saved us a tremendous amount of time, and enabled us to achieve our goal of gaining an excellent score in the audit.
Karine is very knowledgeable, and it has been a pleasure working with her. I highly recommend the SQF Bundle and her consulting services.

“Karine taught the PCQI course clearly, and at a good pace that didn’t feel too fast. She asked insightful questions that sparked discussions and helped broaden the expertise of those involved in the class, I would recommend it to others.”
