HACCP certification in Gqeberha at a glance
Start a HACCP plan at the goods-in door, not at the oven. For a processor setting up in an agro-processing zone such as Coega, that means mapping the chain from farm products the Eastern Cape is known for, among them citrus, dairy, chicory and macadamias, through receiving, processing, packing and dispatch, and asking at each step what could go wrong and how it is controlled. Critical limits, monitoring, corrective action and records turn that map into a plan an auditor or customer can verify. The national legal position, including which sectors are regulated, is on the South Africa page. Sterling's Johannesburg office builds the plan with your team and trains food handlers through Sterling Academy.

HACCP in Gqeberha: questions clients ask
Where should a new Gqeberha food processor start its HACCP plan?
At goods-in. List every raw material and its hazards, then follow the product through storage, processing, packing and dispatch, asking at each step what could go wrong and how it is controlled. Critical control points emerge from that map. Writing the plan before the line is commissioned lets you design controls in rather than add them later.
Who must be on a HACCP team in a small Gqeberha plant?
Someone who knows the process, someone who knows the product's microbiology or chemistry, and the person responsible for hygiene and maintenance. In a small plant one person may cover two roles, with outside advice for gaps. The team's competence must be demonstrable, and training records are the usual evidence.
