Full overview of critical control points. For safe food in every store.

Shelf maintenance, merchandising, customer service - with limited staff, there is little time for time-consuming temperature measurements and extensive documentation in grocery retail. However, especially at refrigerated and fresh food counters, reliable controls are essential to ensure food safety at all times. Testo's food experts offer simple, individually scalable solutions for all store sizes, which allow critical control points to be reliably monitored and HACCP requirements to be easily met.

5 expert tips from Kurt

Tip 1: Conduct a market-specific risk analysis.

The basis of any HACCP system is a thorough and - very importantly - business-specific risk analysis. Many retailers make the mistake of uncritically using generic templates without taking into account the actual and individual conditions in their own store.

Tip 2: Define and document critical control points (CCPs) clearly.

Not every step in your processes is a critical control point. For the control system to be effective, it is crucial to identify the right CCPs. Assess the risk of each step and set measurable limits for each CCP.

Tip 3: See employee training as a continuous process.

A HACCP system is only as good as the people who work with it every day. One-off training is not enough - food safety must become part of the company culture. Therefore, train your staff regularly with a practical focus and skills follow-up.

Tip 4: Use complete documentation as a protection and management tool.

The documentation requirement is often perceived as an administrative burden - but it is also an important management tool and legal protection. In the event of a non-conformity or incident, full documentation can demonstrate that all required actions have been carried out correctly.

Tip 5: Schedule internal audits and regular system checks.

A HACCP plan is not a static document, but a living system that needs to be continuously reviewed and adapted. Internal audits are a crucial tool to verify the effectiveness of the system and identify opportunities for improvement.

Scalable solutions for consistent food safety

According to Kurt, scalable solutions are the key to high and consistent food safety, as different types of stores have very different requirements in terms of processes and ways of working.

"In retail, only solutions that can be easily, seamlessly and effortlessly integrated into the daily work of stores work."
