HACCP
HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) is a self-monitoring system that every operator in the food production and handling sector must implement in order to evaluate and estimate hazards and risks, and establish control measures to prevent hygiene and health issues. Italian law makes HACCP mandatory for all food sector operators. EON Impresa offers a fully integrated technical consulting service for the drafting of the HACCP self-monitoring document.
“Non-compliance with HACCP obligations can result in serious administrative and criminal penalties. Public authorities including ASL and NAS are authorized to carry out inspections at any time.”
The person responsible — either the business owner or a specifically delegated person — must:
- Analyze potential risks to food products
- Identify points where food risks may occur
- Adopt measures to ensure those points do not harm food products
- Identify and apply control and monitoring procedures for critical points
- Carry out periodic control analyses
- Periodically review risk analyses, critical points, and control procedures whenever processes or activity types change
- Draft a document highlighting all of the above points
- Train and inform food handling staff on food hygiene in relation to the type of activity
EON Impresa’s HACCP services include:
- On-site consulting at your premises
- Drafting of the HACCP Manual and carrying out all necessary analyses
- Training course for staff who do not handle food
- Training course for staff who handle food
- Annual HACCP assistance

HACCP Compliance Challenges
Food safety regulations are among the most strictly enforced in Italy. Many food businesses — from restaurants and cafes to food producers and retailers — underestimate the complexity of HACCP obligations. Without a properly drafted and up-to-date HACCP manual, businesses are exposed to immediate closure orders, heavy fines, and serious reputational damage following ASL or NAS inspections.
EON Impresa takes care of the entire HACCP compliance process for you — from on-site risk analysis and manual drafting to staff training and annual monitoring updates. Our consultants visit your premises directly, ensuring your food safety documentation is always complete, accurate, and fully compliant with current regulations.
