Food companies struggle with HACCP

 
 
 21 August 2006

An independent consultancy that advises many of the leading UK food manufacturers and retailers on food safety has claimed that many companies are still getting to grips with HACCP and some are struggling to implement the requirements in their own businesses.

“Judging by the number of enquiries that we are receiving on a daily basis, HACCP is still a minefield for many food businesses,” says Dale Newitt, Business Development Manager at Exova. “Smaller companies without the resources of a QA Manager seem to be the worst hit, and it is those companies who face losing the most if there is a major problem within their food safety management system.”

In response to this concern, Exova has launched a new training course aimed specifically at businesses who want to learn the basics of HACCP in a practical, easy to understand format.

The Royal Institute of Pubic Health (RIPH) accredited Foundation Certificate in HACCP Principles is a one day course with a multiple choice examination at the close. With examples and case studies tailored to the clients’ own product range and business sector, the course is designed for up to 12 delegates and is hosted by Exova’s Advisory Team at the clients own premises to help delegates to see how the principles can be applied in their business.

“We have found that many food companies have difficulty seeing how HACCP principles can practically apply to their business and sometimes just cannot ‘see the wood for the trees’. In practice HACCP is straightforward and by hosting the training on site we can tangibly demonstrate how the course content can be implemented in the workplace,” Jerry comments.

In common with all Exova's Training courses, the HACCP Principles course can be validated under the Learning & Skills Council Green Card Scheme and the qualifications can be entered on the new national database of food industry employees’ qualifications.
