In short

HACCP certification in Iloilo City at a glance

Iloilo City hosts conventions, hotels, restaurants and a university crowd, so a great deal of food gets prepared for large groups. HACCP is how a kitchen or processor shows it controls the hazards in that food. The team draws the flow from receiving to service, lists biological, chemical and physical hazards, identifies the points where each is controlled, sets limits, monitors, corrects and records. The Metro Iloilo-Guimaras council's proposals for an abattoir and cold storage would add meat and ice-chain handling to the picture. The same plan then supports ISO 22000 or FSSC 22000. Sterling maps the process from its Manila office or on site and holds the records in Effivity.

Local drivers

What drives HACCP in Iloilo City

Demand is buyer-led: Iloilo City records no local rule that sets HACCP, and it is adopted through buyer expectations and national food-safety law.

Requirements

What HACCP requires

Strip away the vocabulary and HACCP asks a food business to prove six things about how it controls food safety hazards.

A team knows the product and processA competent team has described each product, its intended use and a verified flow diagram of how it is made.
Hazards are analysedEvery significant hazard at each step is identified, and the measures that will control it are decided.
Critical control points have limitsThe steps where control is essential are identified, each with critical limits that separate safe from unsafe.
Monitoring and correction are routineEach critical point is monitored, and corrective action is defined in advance and taken whenever a limit is breached.
The plan is verifiedChecks confirm the plan works, from validating limits to reviewing records and reassessing when anything changes.
Records prove itDocuments and records show the plan was followed, ready for customers, auditors and food inspectors.

HACCP in Iloilo City: questions clients ask

Which Iloilo businesses are best placed to start with HACCP?

Hotel and convention kitchens, caterers, restaurants and processors, because they handle large volumes of perishable food. Meat and cold-chain operators in the wider metro area are the next group. HACCP names the hazards and control points, and it is the base for ISO 22000 or FSSC 22000 later.

Can an Iloilo business use its HACCP plan in place of a permit?

No. Permits come from the Iloilo City Government's Business Permit and Licensing Division and from the relevant food-safety authorities, whereas a HACCP plan is the business's own control system. National food-safety law is on the Philippines page; confirm what a given site needs with the authority.
