The UK's Food Standards Agency (FSA) last week unveiled MyHACCP, an online tool designed to guide UK food and beverage companies — especially small businesses — through the process of developing a food safety management system based on Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) principles, as required by EU Food Hygiene rules.
The MyHACCP website's introductory text explains that the tool will be able to produce a food safety management system that shows how a business can identify and control any hazards that may occur in the food it manufactures. The Help section (see example, above left) provides a range of resources to assist manufacturers in completing the tool and in understanding implementation of HACCP principles more generally.
