REPORT ON HACCP BASIC LEVEL TRAINING
HACCP ( Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) is
an internationally accepted and proven
methodology for ensuring safety of food
consumed, so much so that even after 50 years
of its existence HACCP remains as the backbone
of all existing food safety management systems
like ISO 22000, BRC, SQF and in regulatory
requirements of a large number of countries.
Hence, Postgraduate and Research Department

association with Pvt Merit Biolabs conducted a
basic HACCP training for the students on 9th and
10th January at Sree Chandrashekhara Bharati
