So how do we do it?
With our simple proven 11 Point Checklist, we can guarantee you pass your HACCP certification on the first attempt, or we will give you your money back!

Like you, we know it’s very competitive out there.

If one of your major customers is telling you that you need HACCP Certification (or you are being told by prospective customers that they can't buy from you unless you are HACCP Certified) then you know you have to have it—it’s just good business sense! Now, we realise everyone is busy and taking on yet another ‘extra-curricular’ activity doesn’t exactly fill you with glee.

But let’s face it, HACCP Certification really is the minimum standard that the big retailers, hotel groups, large catering companies and many government departments want, and if you don’t have it, you can bet your bottom dollar the competition will.

The good news is that The Gourmet Guardian makes achieving your HACCP Certification simple, even enjoyable and with little interruption to your business.  Plus, we guarantee that you’ll pass on your first attempt or we give you your money back. [conditions apply]

So what is HACCP?
We have been told that some people indicate that HACCP stands for:
   Hire
   A
   Consultant to
   Confuse
   People

However HACCP stands for Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point and while that sounds like a bit of a mouthful, what you need to know is that HACCP is a set of preventative guidelines (12 Steps and 7 Principles) that is designed to identify and control all potential food safety hazards.

​HACCP is administered by the World Health Organisation through the Codex Alimentarius Commission. The current HACCP Standard is “Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point System (HACCP) and Guidelines for its Application”, Annex II CAC/RCPI – 1969, rev 5 (2020).
