What is the TQCSI HACCP Code?
TQCSI’s Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) Code for Food Safety Programs is based on the guidelines published by CODEX Alimentarius. It specifies food safety requirements for use by organisations within the food and beverage industry to provide objective evidence of their capability to supply food or beverage which meets customer and legislative requirements.
It requires organisations to implement the simplest form of food safety management system by identifying potential hazards to food safety, risk assessing them and controlling those deemed critical. In the absence of an international standard for HACCP, TQCSI developed the Code following consultation with food safety specialists and regulators throughout Asia. It has been formally recognised by JASANZ (one of only a handful of codes to be registered by an accreditation body anywhere in the world).
