HACCP, Self-Monitoring and Hygiene
- HACCP – Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points
HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) is a food safety management system that identifies, assesses and controls risks related to food safety throughout the entire food production chain.
- Self-Monitoring and Food Traceability Plan
The self-monitoring and food traceability plan is a fundamental and mandatory document for food businesses. It defines the preventive and corrective measures needed to ensure the safety and compliance of food throughout the entire production and distribution chain.
- Health & Hygiene Support
Specialised activity aimed at providing support and consultancy to companies in the food sector to ensure compliance with hygiene and health regulations and promote high standards of hygiene and safety.
- HACCP Staff Training
The HACCP course, mandatory under Regulation (EC) No. 852/2004 as amended, thanks to the contribution of specialist professionals, in particular Food Technologists and Biologists, trains workers and staff on the obligations required by law and on the procedures to be implemented to prevent contamination, developing an accurate perception of the risks related to food safety.
Regulatory Procedures and Business Start-Up

The correct completion and submission of the NIA application, along with the required supporting documents, are mandatory and essential to obtain authorisation to start a business and ensure compliance with sector safety and quality standards.

Verification, Monitoring and Internal Audits
- First-Party Audits (Internal Audits)
First-party audits, or internal audits, are carried out by the organisation itself to assess the compliance of its processes and systems with internal or regulatory standards. These audits help identify areas for improvement and ensure that operations are efficient and in line with corporate policies.
