HACCP monitoring is one of the most important activities for ensuring food safety within food companies. Without constant checks and accurate records, the Self-Monitoring Plan cannot be considered effective and compliant with European regulations. In this article, you'll discover what HACCP monitoring is and why it's essential to implement it correctly.

 

What is HACCP monitoring?

Why HACCP monitoring is essential

An effective HACCP system requires constant and documented monitoring. Here are the main reasons why it is essential:

  1. Food product safety

Monitoring allows for the immediate identification of deviations from critical limits, reducing the risk of food contamination.

  1. Compliance with European regulations

EC Regulation 852/2004 requires food companies to demonstrate, through records, the implementation of HACCP procedures.

  1. Prevention of non-compliance and waste

Regular monitoring prevents process errors that can lead to waste, product recalls, and fines.

  1. Continuous improvement of the production process

The data collected through HACCP monitoring allows for optimization of company management and improvement of product quality.

 

How to properly perform HACCP monitoring

Regarding pest monitoring, it is essential to rely on competent and specialized personnel capable of providing the best possible support to all businesses that produce or serve food and beverages.

Specifically, this service is primarily performed using systems such as mechanical traps, glue traps for rodents and crawling insects, UV lamps with glue plates for winged insects, and virtual baits or placebos for rodents.

Careful and timely monitoring allows us to identify the presence of infestations and, if found, intervene with timely environmental remediation and disinfestation and rodent control measures.

The regulations governing HACCP monitoring

To ensure compliance with specific food safety standards, it is essential to follow the relevant mandatory regulations, such as Legislative Decree 155/1997 and Legislative Decree 193/2007; Voluntary standards, no less important, include BRC, IFS, ISO, and FSSC.

By relying on a specialized company, you can better understand the standards and be able to apply the necessary measures effectively. Our team of experts identifies critical control points, implements HACCP procedures, and regularly monitors the situation to ensure compliance with mandatory and voluntary standards.
