Protect Your Customers and Your Business
A food safety programme (FSP) is a written programme
designed to manage food safety. It looks at all the stages involved in producing food (from ingredient purchase through to final sale), identifying things with the potential to cause harm to the consumer (the hazards), and implementing controls to eliminate or control such hazards.
In New Zealand, FSPs are currently voluntary but are being implemented by many food businesses that want to assure food safety. It is recognised that compliance with the old Food Hygiene
Regulations is not enough to produce ‘safe’ food.
We provide you with strategic and technical support on food safety matters. We partner with you to improve results in business performance, achieve efficient and consistent compliance, reduce risks and align management systems and strategies with business and customer requirements. We work closely with you developing and implementing your food safety programme that enables you to boost your stakeholder and consumer confidence.

HACCP based Food Safety Programme (FSP) |
A FSP varies depending on the size of the business concerned
and the food produced. However it will normally includes flowcharts and procedures for producing the food,
identification of hazards and how they will be controlled
using HACCP-based principles, maintenance and cleaning schedules, policies in relation to staff illness, dress, hygiene and standards of conduct, staff training procedures,
a recall procedure if the product is distributed and recording, review and monitoring procedures.
To be approved, a FSP must be based on the principles
of HACCP. HACCP stands for Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point. It is a systematic process for identifying potential food safety
hazards, evaluating their risk and implementing controls.
Hazards can be microbiological, chemical or physical.
