Why is HACCP Digital the future for your HACCP Concept or OCP Concept?
A HACCP concept is mandatory for every company in the food industry and must be ready in place upon checks and audits. To comply with this legal requirement, there were only a few alternatives in the past: Either analogue templates which were self-designed and involved a lot of research or external support by specialists. In future, choose a different way with HACCP Digital instead: Step by step you create your HACCP concept directly in the browser from the product description to the PDF export of the entire flow diagrams and hazard analyses also for organic products - with guidance, intelligent evaluation tools and 24 h online access.
Saves time and resources • more security in your evaluation • intuitive use

HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) is a process to ensure that all relevant food hazards to human health are identified, asssessed and adequately controlled. As per Regulation (EC) No. 852/2004 on hygiene of foodstuffs, every company which manufactures, processes or distributes food within the EU is legally required to set up a HACCP concept. The objective is to implement a standardized precautionary principle based on the principles contained in the Codex Alimentarius. This all is managed by one central tool = HACCP Digital.
Advantages of HACCP
Your HACCP concept' main purpose is to control in the first place - you keep an overview of all potential risks and hazards in your manufacturing process and thus improve the safety of your food products.
Your HACCP concept must be verifiable through documents and records which is an advantage for you, too: You hold a proof of your due diligence in your hands and secure recognition and confidence in international trade and of your customers.
Analogue alternatives
Without HACCP Digital there have been only two options so far: 1. To use of standardized templates to establish your complete hazard analysis which requires a lot of reseach and time within your company. 2. To engage external specialists at significant costs depending on the size and product range of your company.
HACCP Digital is the best of both worlds: important expertise bundled in a tool which supports you efficiently and can be used independently any time.
Our customers are convinced
The HACCP Tool is well and logically structured. Especially start-ups can save much time and work and establish a well functioned risk analysis. Recommendable!
If such a tool had been available 10 years ago, I would have had less trouble getting started with HACCP.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
How do the product components function in the manufacturing process?
Apart from the primary manufacturing process you have the possibility to create so-called product components additionally in order to make sure that any sub process will also be included in your overall concept. For example, product components could be the manufacturing of marinades, premixes, partial products etc. which will be added together with other ingredients to various working steps within the primary manufacturing process. In this way you will keep an overview in the HACCP Tool even with complexe formulations and manufacturing processes.
How does the automated support function when drawing up the hazard analysis?
In HACCP Digital, raw materials, raw material groups and working steps are linked with potential hazards and their likelihood of appearance. The linkage was assessed and done by our experts who also identified and assigned the nature and severeness of a specific hazard to a specific working step. When drawing up the hazard analysis all you have to do is to decide whether the specific hazard is relevant for your specific process and how likely it is that this specific hazard appears.
How are critical control points set by the HACCP tool?
A calculation matrix is the basis for setting critical control points. Severity and likelihood of appearance of a hazard are associated with numbers. It depends on the size of the number whether a critical control point is set or not. An example: Shock freezing a pizza bears the risk of an unwanted germ multiplication in the final product. This is a biological risk with a severe effect on human health (3). In case you estimate that this hazard is real and is very likely to appear in your own process, you enter your assessment in the HACCP tool accordingly (3). By doing this, HACCP Digital automatically calculates a high risk level for this incident in return (9). If this hazard cannot be controlled in any of the following working steps, a critical control point (CCP) is set.
I do not wish to reveal my formulation, is this required for using the HACCP tool?
No, you do not need to reveal your specific formulation and / or quantities at any time while using the HACCP Tool. It is sufficient to select the raw materials used for production in order to create a flow chart. You can also summarize individual raw material components to more general categories such as ferments, flavorings agents, acidifiers etc.
