HACCP certification in Ekurhuleni at a glance
A bunch of spinach can cross Ekurhuleni in a few hours: market stall, cold room, airport apron. The City runs the Springs Fresh Produce Market through its Economic Development department, and its Aerotropolis plan names perishables as a sector to grow around OR Tambo International Airport. Each hand-over is a point where biological, chemical or physical hazards can enter. HACCP deals with that in seven linked steps: analyse the hazards, find the critical control points, set critical limits, monitor, correct, verify and keep records. Sterling writes the plan with your supervisors on the floor, trains the team that will run it and prepares you for an accredited certification body. Served from Sterling's Johannesburg office.

HACCP in Ekurhuleni: questions clients ask
Who in Ekurhuleni typically needs a HACCP plan?
Anyone who prepares, packs, stores or moves food that could be unsafe if mishandled: processors, packers, caterers, cold stores and produce traders. Whether a certificate is legally required depends on the sector, so check the position on the South Africa page and ask the municipal health office about your premises.
How does a HACCP plan for a cold-chain site differ from one for a factory?
The hazards are similar, but the critical control points shift. A cold-chain site leans on temperature limits, time out of refrigeration, cross-contamination at loading and vehicle hygiene. A factory adds process steps such as cooking or filling. Both need monitoring records, corrective actions and verification that show the plan is actually followed.
