Kitchen Connect is a HACCP-Ready Kitchen
HACCP-Ready means the protocols and facility is setup to allow a processor to meet the conditions for certification within a shared facility and to sell into the larger retail and institutional markets. This means the business can have their product HACCP certified running out of the facility, however, additional certification for goods like meat processing would be up to the business using the facility.
What is HACCP?
The Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) system for food safety management is designed to identify health hazards and to establish strategies to prevent, eliminate, or reduce their occurrence.
