🔹 **What is HACCP? | Food Safety & Pest Control**

HACCP stands for **Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points**. It is a preventive food safety system designed to identify, evaluate, and control hazards that can affect food safety.

The key principle is simple: **Prevent the problem before it happens.**

HACCP focuses on three major types of hazards:

🦠 **Biological Hazards:** Bacteria, viruses, parasites, molds, fungi and pests such as cockroaches, rodents, flies and birds.

🧪 **Chemical Hazards:** Pesticides, cleaning chemicals, sanitizers, lubricants and heavy metals.

🔩 **Physical Hazards:** Hair, glass, metal fragments, wood splinters, plastic pieces and dead insects.

For food processing facilities, **professional pest control and Integrated Pest Management (IPM)** are important parts of contamination prevention.
