- HACCP is a major trend of our times
HACCP has been adopted by CODEX in July 1993 at the 20thassembly,documentedby¡°Guidelines
for HACCP System and its application¡± and since the recommendation;
HACCP has quickly been proliferated throughout the world.
The US, Japan, EU and most developed nations are making it compulsory
to adopt HACCP and in Korea, the government has chosen HACCP as ¡°Top
100 policy projects for the government¡± as a strong will to adopt
HACCP.
Therefore, HACCP is becoming a critical condition for international
trade and in Korea, government and wholesale marts are leading the
application of HACCP in specified products.
In the food industry, HACCP is major trend that we cannot oppose in
our times
- HACCP creates immediate and sustainable economic profit
In the short term, investment needs to be made on improvement and
management of facility and equipment to adopt HACCP.
However, in the long run enhanced competitiveness, lower management
personnel, decrease in control factors, less inferior goods, returned/scraped
goods, enhanced product quality and lower production cost become economic
profit.

Won a year after adopting HACCCP (refer to application case)

but by recording continuous monitoring record at critical control
points and corrective actions on control flaws, it provides scientific
proof on the safety of one¡¯s product should a problem arise
