Food safety is a critical responsibility for every organization involved in food production, handling, storage, or distribution. A single food safety incident can result in serious health risks, regulatory penalties, product recalls, and lasting damage to brand reputation.
ISO HACCP Certification in Saudi Arabia provides a preventive, science-based system for identifying, evaluating, and controlling food safety hazards throughout the food supply chain. Rather than relying only on end-product inspection, HACCP focuses on preventing hazards before they occur.
At BoldTarget, we help food businesses design, implement, and certify HACCP-compliant food safety systems, ensuring regulatory compliance, consumer protection, and operational confidence.
What Is HACCP?
HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) is an internationally recognized food safety system that identifies and controls hazards that may occur during food production and handling.
HACCP addresses:
-
Biological hazards (bacteria, viruses, parasites)
-
Chemical hazards (cleaning agents, additives, toxins)
-
Physical hazards (foreign objects such as metal or glass)
HACCP is widely required by regulators, food authorities, and major buyers worldwide.
Why ISO HACCP Certification Matters in Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia places strong emphasis on food safety to protect public health and ensure compliance across the food sector. Restaurants, manufacturers, caterers, and food suppliers are expected to follow strict hygiene and safety standards.
ISO HACCP certification:
-
Supports compliance with Saudi food safety regulations
-
Strengthens approval and inspection outcomes
-
Increases trust with customers and authorities
-
Enables participation in tenders and large supply chains

The 7 Principles of HACCP
1. Conduct Hazard Analysis
Identify potential biological, chemical, and physical hazards.
2. Identify Critical Control Points (CCPs)
Determine points where hazards can be controlled or eliminated.
3. Establish Critical Limits
Define acceptable limits for each CCP (e.g., temperature, time).
4. Establish Monitoring Procedures
Monitor CCPs to ensure controls remain effective.
5. Establish Corrective Actions
Define actions when monitoring shows deviation from limits.
6. Establish Verification Procedures
Confirm the HACCP system works effectively.
7. Establish Documentation & Record Keeping
Maintain records for traceability and compliance.
