HACCP certification in Dallas-Fort Worth at a glance
HACCP is the plainest question a food buyer can ask: how do you know your product is safe? For plants in the Dallas Regional Chamber's food and beverage list, and for the distributors working out of the DFW Airport foreign-trade zone and the southern Dallas County inland port, the accurate answer is a written hazard analysis, defined control points, critical limits, monitoring, corrective actions and verification. Customers read that documentation, and higher-level schemes build on it. Dallas permits premises through its Consumer Health Division, but a certificate of the system itself comes from an accredited certification body. Sterling writes and tests the plan from its New York office, with Effivity and Sterling Academy included.

HACCP in Dallas-Fort Worth: questions clients ask
Who in North Texas needs a documented HACCP plan?
Processors, packers and perishable-goods handlers, particularly those selling to larger buyers or aiming for a scheme such as FSSC 22000. Whether a formal plan is legally required for a product depends on federal and state rules, so check the position with the relevant regulator.
Does the Dallas Consumer Health Division issue HACCP certificates?
No. The Consumer Health Division issues food establishment permits for premises in Dallas. A HACCP certificate is a private document from an accredited certification body, requested by customers. Contact the division about permit requirements and the certification body about your system.
