HACCP Consulting

HACCP consulting encompasses the establishment of a system that secures food safety through hazard analysis and critical control points, as well as the design of facilities that comply with this system. Envora Global addresses HACCP, particularly in dietary supplement facilities, alongside GMP practices.

Scope of HACCP Consulting

• Facility Design: Layout that complies with HACCP and GMP, hygienic area segregation, material and personnel flow.
• Hazard Analysis and Control Points: Analysis of processes and identification of control measures.
• Documentation: Preparation of HACCP plan, procedures, and record systems.
• Training: HACCP and GMP training for personnel.
• Preparation for Audits: Preparation for the requirements of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry and customer audits.

HACCP in Dietary Supplement Facilities

In dietary supplement production, different production areas such as solid forms (tablet, capsule), liquid forms, and soft gelatin capsules can be found together. In ENA Farma, ORZAX, UZER, and ART DE HUILE projects, GMP/HACCP practices, training, and documentation; along with DI water, HVAC, and clean room partitions have been planned.

Hygienic Infrastructure in Food Facilities

Compliance with HACCP is supported by properly designed heating, cooling, and ventilation systems. HACCP-compliant heating, cooling, and ventilation systems for the HomeMade Altunizade production facility and storage areas were completed in 2020.

How Do We Work in HACCP Consulting Process?

The process starts with defining the products to be produced and the production flow. Each step, from raw material acceptance to storage, production, and packaging, is examined to identify food safety hazards and their control methods. If the facility is still in the design phase, this analysis is reflected directly in the layout plan and infrastructure decisions.

Subsequently, the HACCP plan and supporting procedures are prepared, staff training is provided, and the proper application of the system in the field is verified. Since GMP requirements are also addressed within the same framework for dietary supplement facilities, the two systems are established in a cohesive and streamlined manner.

Why Envora Global?

For the sustainability of HACCP compliance, the system must be compatible with the physical infrastructure of the facility. Envora Global combines its engineering experience in hygienic production areas with heating, cooling, and ventilation systems through quality system and training studies. Thus, a disconnect between documentation and field implementation does not occur, making your facility ready for audits.

The Importance of HACCP Compliant Facility Design

Food safety is ensured not only through procedures but also through the physical structure of the facility. The separation of raw materials, intermediate products, and finished product flows, cleanable surfaces, appropriate ventilation, and water quality are prerequisites for the effective operation of the HACCP plan in the field. If these issues are not addressed during the design phase, subsequent corrections can cause both cost and time loss.

For this reason, we conduct facility design and quality system studies in parallel in HACCP consulting projects. In facilities that house dietary supplement, traditional herbal products, and cosmetic production together, we balance the requirements of each product group within the same layout plan.

All project planning and implementations are carried out in accordance with GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) regulations, ISO and HACCP standards, and the requirements of the Ministry of Health / Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry.

Our Process in HACCP Consulting Projects

1. Concept Design: Determination of product groups, capacity targets, material, and personnel flows.
2. Project Planning: Design of GMP layout, HVAC – clean room, DI water, and other infrastructure systems.
3. Installation and Implementation: Clean room partition and panel systems, selection and installation of production machines.
4. Qualification and Validation: Verification of equipment, systems, and processes; commissioning.
5. Quality System and Audit Preparation: Documentation, key personnel training, and preparation for official audits.
