COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATION
HARPC
This system guarantees that all hazards related to food are prevented or minimized, complying with the FSMA Act of the FDA.
The FDA’s Food Modernization and Safety Act, also known as the FSMA Act, is final, and some companies—as required by the Law—have been working with it since 2016. The final standard is the result of the FDA’s unprecedented level of dissemination activities for the industry, groups of consumers, the agency’s representatives at local, state, and federal levels, and other interested parties. It is the first time in over sixty years that the development and application of food-safety regulations with a preventive focus is included.
The food producers, processors, and exporters to the United States must implement preventive measures to control the process, food allergens, and safety throughout the supply chain, as well as a recall plan to withdraw products from the market.
HARPC SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

- Risk analysis, to identify and evaluate known and probable hazards in agreement with food and process type.
- Preventive control shall ensure that identified hazards which could probable happen can be significantly minimized or prevented.
- Monitoring. To make sure the preventive controls works as established and there are records.
