Frequently asked questions
Can I download and print the HACCP plan during the free trial? How about as a paying customer?
For the duration of your free trial, you can create and view your full HACCP plan. But you cannot download it.
When you become a paying customer with an annual plan (i.e., Basic, Standard or Professional), you can download a PDF version of your HACCP plan and print it at any time throughout the year. That way, you can improve your HACCP plan at any point and print it out again. The same applies to your monitoring records in CSV format.
Is the digital HACCP plan compliant with location's regulations? Can you guarantee that?
FoodDocs' food safety software is a tool that helps you to create your HACCP plan faster, using data from states’ regulations and data/feedback from companies similar to yours. Our food safety solution uses machine learning to learn from previous users’ data to become smarter and get more precise with every new user.
Today, we have more than 30,000 users from the foodservice and production sector, mostly from the US and UK, who use FoodDocs for creating and maintaining food safety compliance docs. That said, there are always differences from business to business because each one is unique in how it operates.
The reality is that authorities may also interpret regulations differently. That’s why our HACCP plan is fully customizable; after creating and confirming your HACCP plan, you can always improve upon it.
So what we can guarantee is that if your inspector or food safety consultant asks to add any additional requirement or makes a comment about any content in your HACCP plan, it's super easy and fast to change or add it into your plan.

How do you create a HACCP system?
FoodDocs has made a HACCP system creation easy for food businesses. Our digital solution uses your answers to some of our basic questions to create a comprehensive HACCP Plan built specifically for your food business in less than an hour.
A HACCP system involves a detailed description of how you do things, what you produce, who is involved, and how you control the safety of food products.
To fulfill these objectives, you need to follow these preliminary steps to make a HACCP system:
1. Create a HACCP team
2. Describe your product and its distribution channels
3. Define the product's use and target market
4. Create a flow chart of your entire food processing operation
5. Verify all preliminary documents and flow diagrams
The HACCP system itself is most widely known for having seven key principles that aim to identify and address all potential hazards in a food business or food processing plant.
The seven principles of the HACCP system include the following:
1. Identify all hazards and conduct a hazard analysis
2. Establish critical control points (CCPs)
3. Establish critical limits
4. Create monitoring procedures.
5. Set up corrective actions
6. Implement verification procedures
7. Establish record-keeping methods
You can easily cover all those steps with the help of FoodDocs' HACCP software.

How do you verify a HACCP system?
HACCP system verification is performed to determine if your system is effective enough to control the hazards that you've identified in your establishment. You can verify your HACCP system through on-site visual inspections and by regularly reviewing your recorded food safety documents.
One way a manager can verify that the HACCP system is working is to perform an internal audit.
To fulfill verification procedures, complete documentation of monitoring records and the HACCP plan is required.
Does HACCP expire?
In short, yes.
A HACCP system is a continuously changing and improving system. As your food business grows and adapts to the trends and regulations in the food industry, so should your HACCP plan. As such, your HACCP system must be flexible enough to accommodate revisions and improvements after a thorough review.
The next question is, when should you review your HACCP system? A successful HACCP system requires regular updates (e.g., once every year) for the following reasons:
- After a major food safety inspection or internal audit.
- In case of food recall or occurrence of a food safety issue from your establishment.
- If a new production process is introduced, the layout of production, or changes in product formulation.
- Compliance with new food safety laws.
At least once a year, your HACCP team must schedule a HACCP internal audit and review. This frequency is enough to keep your system up to date and give you the ability to adapt on time to the most important trends in the food industry.

Is digital monitoring compliant and acceptable for food safety inspectors?
Yes, digital food safety monitoring is compliant with regulations and acceptable for inspectors.
The USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service’s Compliance Guidelines for Use of Video or Other Electronic Monitoring or Recording Equipment, it states: “If an establishment determines and designates a video or other electronic monitoring or recording equipment to record the required HACCP information, this information is to be included as part of its recordkeeping system description.”
Furthermore, in a December 2023 issue of the journal Food Control, competent authorities (CA) across 15 European Union countries reported that they’ve incorporated digital environments to some extent during their food safety inspections. In fact, “62.5% (55/88) used a digital environment during inspections, the majority to standardize data collection and reporting. CAs autotomize processes through digital technologies related to the management of official control and generation of inspection results, but to a lesser extent to automatize decision-making during inspections.”
The Government of Canada's article about record keeping for your preventive control plan also confirms that, based on their definition of "record", digital food safety records are compliant and acceptable: "A record is a type of document that permanently captures information demonstrating that an action was taken. It can be in either hard copy (printed) or electronic (digital) format. The information can take various forms such as text, figures, graphics, data pictures and videos."
