A HACCP plan on paper is not the same as a HACCP system that works. Critical limits drift, monitoring records get filled in after the fact, a flow diagram stops matching the line it describes. An internal audit is how a food business finds that out before a customer, a regulator or a consumer does.
This two-day course equips participants to plan, conduct, report and follow up internal audits of a HACCP-based food safety management system. It combines HACCP fundamentals with practical internal auditing skills, aligned with the Codex Alimentarius HACCP guidelines and integrated with GMP, PRPs, ISO 22000 and FSSC 22000 requirements. Participants gain competency in hazard analysis, determining Critical Control Points, evaluating HACCP plans and records, identifying nonconformities and verifying corrective actions.
Learning Objectives
The Foundation
Day 1 covers all seven in depth, including the preliminary steps that come before them: forming the HACCP team, describing the product and its intended use, and developing and verifying the process flow diagram.
Course Curriculum
Day 1: HACCP Fundamentals and Food Safety Management
Day 2: HACCP Internal Auditing
The Bigger Picture
The hazard-based method at the centre: identify, control, monitor, verify.
Good manufacturing practice, the hygienic baseline a HACCP plan assumes.
Prerequisite programmes that control the conditions HACCP cannot cover alone.
The full food safety management system standard built around HACCP thinking.
The GFSI-recognised certification scheme many retailers and brands require.
Module 1 covers the relationship between all five, which matters because a HACCP audit finding often turns out to be a prerequisite programme failure rather than a CCP failure.
Who Should Attend
Before You Begin
No formal prerequisites are required for this course. A basic understanding of food safety or HACCP concepts is helpful but not mandatory, because Day 1 begins with HACCP fundamentals and builds from there.
