The Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Points (HACCP) system addresses food safety. It examines and assesses the control of microbiological, chemical and physical hazards from raw material production, to consumption of the finished product, including manufacturing, procurement, handling and distribution.

The HACCP strategy identifies potential hazards, building up high-priority control focuses, setting basic cutoff points, and guaranteeing control measures are accepted, checked and observed before execution.

URS-Middle East provides support for the food industry and food-related organizations to achieve the HACCP system certification. URS Middle East provides such certification under the EIAC (Emirates International Accreditation Centre) accreditation.
