An Introduction to Hazard
Analysis and Critical
Control Point (HACCP)
for Food Catering
Businesses
A Food Safety Management
System
1. Introduction
Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point
(HACCP) is a systematic approach to
identifying and controlling hazards
(i.e. microbiological, chemical or physical)
that could pose a threat to the preparation
of safe food. HACCP involves:
•
identifying what can go wrong
•
planning to prevent it
•
making sure you are doing it.
In simple terms, it involves controlling
ingredients and supplies coming into a
catering business and what is done with
them thereafter.

2. Scope
3. Purpose
Businesses that are considered to be within the scope of this
document will collectively be referred to as catering businesses
and include such premises as hotels, restaurants, public houses,
take-aways, sandwich bars, delicatessens, coffee shops, street
vendors, mobile shops, vending machines, outside catering
companies, hospitals and other institution catering operations.
This document is not a HACCP system. It is a guide for catering
businesses to assist in the development and implementation of
their own HACCP only after appropriate prerequisites are in place
(see Section 5). The nature and the complexity of each individual
HACCP will, in practice, depend on the nature and
complexity of the specific catering business.
Users of this document may also consult the
National Standards Authority of Ireland (NSAI)
standard I.S. 22000:2005, an international
standard which outlines a food safety
management system based on the
principles of HACCP.

4. Legal Obligations
Since 1998 it has been a legal requirement for all catering businesses
to have a food safety management system based on the principles of
HACCP. Regulation (EC) No. 852/2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs
outlines what is required by catering businesses in terms of food safety
management based on the principles of HACCP. The proprietor of a
catering business has a legal obligation to understand what this
Regulation demands and be able to explain how it has been applied in
the catering business.
to their business and that their employees are suitably trained to ensure
effective implementation. See FSAI publication Choosing an External
HACCP Consultant for further information.
It is unrealistic to operate HACCP or to demonstrate compliance with the
current legislation without providing evidence such as written records.
As with HACCP itself, the complexity of the record keeping will very
much depend on the nature and complexity of the business. The aim
should be to ensure control is maintained without generating excessive
paperwork.
Environmental health officers (EHOs) currently assess catering businesses
for compliance with the legislation. It is the responsibility of the catering
business, not the EHO or other regulatory authorities, to develop and
implement a food safety management system based on the principles
of HACCP.
Food safety training is essential to all catering businesses
in ensuring the preparation and service of safe food. It is
a legal requirement that employees involved in a catering
business are adequately trained and/or supervised
commensurate with their work activity. The
responsibility for training and supervision of
employees (full-time, part-time or casual) lies
solely with the proprietor of a catering business.
See Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI)
publications, Guide to Food Safety Training for
further information.
Where a HACCP system has been devised by an
external consultant it is essential that there is
appropriate ownership of the system by the
catering business itself. Proprietors using external
consultants should ensure they know how the
HACCP system works and how it is being applied

5. Prerequisites (Prerequisite Hygiene
Requirements)
Some businesses use external consultants to assist with
HACCP design and implementation. See FSAI publication
Choosing an External HACCP Consultant for further information.
Before implementing HACCP, basic food hygiene conditions and
practices called prerequisites must to be in place in a food catering
business. HACCP will then be used to control steps in the business
which are critical in ensuring the preparation of safe food.
Prerequisites include where appropriate:
2. Depending on the size of the business, assemble staff into
a small team, with a team leader to lead in designing and
implementing HACCP. Use experienced members of your
staff. In a small business, of course, it may be that there is
only one staff member available to design and implement
the HACCP system. The advantage of a team is that
members tend to have in-depth knowledge of all aspects of
the operation which reduces the risk of details being
overlooked. In addition, a team setup will
instil ownership of HACCP by the
catering business.
1. Cleaning and Sanitation
2. Maintenance
3. Personnel Hygiene
4. Pest Control
5. Plant and Equipment
6. Premises and Structure
7. Services (compressed air, ice,
steam, ventilation, water etc.)
8. Storage, Distribution and
Transport
9. WasteManagement
10. Zoning (physical separation of
activities to prevent potential
food contamination)
Catering businesses should refer to NSAI standard I.S. 340:2007,
for further details on prerequisite requirements. See also FSAI
Guidance Note 10 - Product Recall and Traceability for information on
how to set up traceability and recall systems to ensure that, in the
event of a food incident, unsafe food does not reach the consumer.
3. Examine the business and make sure all
members of the HACCP team are familiar
with its daily food preparation procedures.
6. HACCP
HACCP uses an approach to food safety which concentrates a caterer’s
attention on the causes of food safety hazards. This allows a caterer
to identify and control food safety hazards. The development and
implementation of HACCP involves following a series of logical steps
as outlined in Sections 6.1 to 6.8.
6.1 Pre-Planning and Organisation
1. It is accepted that some catering businesses will not have
the skills or knowledge necessary to develop and
implement HACCP. Therefore the proprietor of a catering
business must ensure staff are trained in the concepts of
HACCP and provided with appropriate HACCP information.
