HACCP certification in Frankfurt am Main at a glance
Hazard analysis is the practical start for many Frankfurt food businesses. The city's food trade runs through the weekly markets and the Kleinmarkthalle that HFM manages, through harbour-side stores at Gutleuthafen and Osthafen, and through the caterers and processors in the surrounding business parks. HACCP asks each business to identify biological, chemical and physical hazards, decide which steps are critical, set limits, monitor them, correct deviations and keep verification records. Certification is available from an accredited certification body and often leads on to ISO 22000 or FSSC 22000 if customers ask for more. Sterling's Frankfurt office writes the hazard analysis and records with your team. German hygiene law is outlined on the country page.

HACCP in Frankfurt am Main: questions clients ask
Where does HACCP fit for a Frankfurt market trader or caterer?
It is the working method behind food hygiene: you identify hazards, control the critical steps and keep records. A trader or caterer in Frankfurt may need only the documented plan, while a supplier to larger customers may be asked for a certificate. Check what your customers and the food control office expect.
Should a Frankfurt food supplier move from HACCP to ISO 22000?
Move when customers ask for it or when growth demands management-system discipline. ISO 22000 wraps the HACCP plan in policy, internal audit, management review and supplier control. Frankfurt retail and catering customers vary, so compare their specifications before paying for the extra work.
