Food safety and HACCP requirements

SMC adds food safety to your recipe

Food safety is a critical aspect of the food manufacturing industry, essential for protecting public health, maintaining consumer trust, and ensuring compliance with legal standards of the sector.
Food safety regulations and HACCP requirements significantly influence the design of machines used in the industry. They ensure that machines not only perform their intended functions efficiently, but also prevent contamination and maintain the highest levels of hygiene.

HACCP: Process and requirements for food safety 

HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) is one of the cornerstones of food safety management systems worldwide. HACCP include a systematic approach to identifying, evaluating, and controlling food safety hazards. These hazards can be biological, chemical, and physical.

The seven principles of the HACCP process include:

  • Conduct hazard analysis
  • Determinate critical control points (CCPs)
  • Establish critical limits
  • Implement monitoring procedures
  • Establish corrective actions
  • Verify procedures
  • Establish record-keeping procedures

Compliance with HACCP requirements ensure the production of safe and high-quality food products, meeting regulatory standards and safeguarding consumer health.

Is your compressed air safe for food manufacturing?

Machine builders and end users face increasing pressure to safeguard both product integrity and process reliability. While air quality is often overlooked, it is just as critical as selecting appropriate materials or implementing hygienic design principles.

Inadequate system design can introduce contaminants that lead to food safety incidents, product recalls, and erosion of consumer trust, placing your brand reputation at risk.
