In short

HACCP certification in London at a glance

Walk through Park Royal and the hazards are concrete: chilled lines, allergens, cross-contamination, cold-chain deliveries to restaurants and shops. HACCP is the discipline that identifies those hazards and controls them, and in London it is the working core of almost every food business. HACCP is the systematic method of identifying food hazards, setting critical control points, monitoring them, taking corrective action and keeping verification records. Sterling prepares the system from its London office, with Effivity and Sterling Academy included; the certificate comes from an accredited certification body, and national rules sit on the UK page. National law, regulators and accreditation detail sit on the United Kingdom page rather than here.

Local drivers

What drives HACCP in London

Demand is buyer-led: HACCP is asked for through customer, tender or supplier terms rather than by a London authority or zone rule.

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 London: questions clients ask

Is HACCP only for factories in London?

No. It applies across the food chain, including caterers, distributors and wholesalers as well as manufacturers such as those at Park Royal. The principle is the same: find the hazards, control the critical points and keep records. Legal duties belong to national food law, which the UK page covers.

What do customers want to see from a London food business on HACCP?

A hazard analysis, the critical control points chosen, monitoring records, corrective actions and verification. Buyers want evidence the plan is actually followed, not only written. Third-party certification can help when a customer requires it, but confirm the requirement with the buyer.
