HMS HACCP / ISO 22000
(4-Day course, NQF level 4, 15 credits)
Background
In order to ensure safe meat products with exceptional quality various food safety and quality systems have been developed and implemented worldwide. The South African government recognized the need for governance in the abattoir sector and thus established legislation, the Meat Safety Act, 2000 (Act 40 of 2000) and the Red Meat Regulations to govern the red meat abattoir industry and its processes. The Regulations require that an abattoir implement a Hygiene Management System (HMS) to manage and document abattoir activities and as a result it has become crucial to provide guidance to the industry regarding the implementation of the HMS.
Consumer awareness has also resulted in the prevention of food borne illnesses becoming a priority in food processing facilities. The implementation of HACCP has been recognized an effective way of identifying and preventing hazards that could cause these illnesses. The implementation of both the HMS and HACCP provides consumers with assurances and guarantees regarding the safety and quality of the product they purchase.
ISO 22000 is a Food Safety Management System that can be applied to any organization in the food chain, farm to fork. Becoming certified to ISO 22000 allows a company to show their customers that they have a food safety management system in place. This provides customer confidence in the product. This is becoming more and more important as customers demand safe food and food processors require that ingredients obtained from their suppliers to be safe.
