My HACCP Quote Request Form asks a few simple questions I need to understand your facility and food processes. Complete the form, send a copy of your menu, and I’ll use the information to prepare a proposal for your HACCP plan.
When Do You Need a HACCP Plan?
If you’re opening a new food facility in Maryland, adding new food processes, or changing how food is prepared, packaged, or stored, you may need a HACCP plan or an update to your existing plan.
I work with Maryland food businesses on HACCP plans for a variety of operations and processes.
Adding a Specialized Process?
Specialized food processes can require additional food safety controls and should be evaluated as part of your HACCP plan.
These may include:
- Reduced Oxygen Packaging (ROP)
- Sous Vide
- Vacuum Sealing
- Juicing
- Curing
- Other specialized processing methods
If you’re adding one of these processes to your operation, don’t assume your existing HACCP plan covers it. The process should be evaluated and the appropriate hazards and controls addressed.
Does Your HACCP Plan Need an Update?
HACCP plans should be reviewed periodically and whenever there are significant changes to your operation. A 5-year review is a good time to take a fresh look at your plan, but you shouldn’t wait five years if your operation has changed.
You may need to update your HACCP plan if you:
- Add or remove menu items or products
- Add equipment
- Change your preparation or production process
- Move to a new facility
- Add ROP, sous vide, vacuum sealing, juicing, curing, or another specialized process
- Identify a new food safety hazard
- Change how food is packaged, stored, or distributed
HACCP Plans for Maryland Food Facilities
Navigating HACCP requirements can be challenging, particularly when you’re opening a new facility or introducing a process you haven’t used before.
SMF Training & Consulting provides HACCP plan development and consulting for food businesses in Maryland, helping you identify the hazards associated with your processes and establish appropriate controls, monitoring, and corrective actions.
The Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DHMH) sets the guidelines for Maryland HACCP plans, however, over the years local health departments have specific requests beyond the guidance often provided, getting your HACCP planning started early can help prevent unnecessary delays.
