If you run a food manufacturer in Roscommon - in Roscommon town, Boyle and Castlerea or anywhere across the county - food safety law applies to you exactly as it does in any Irish kitchen. This guide is written for food manufacturers in Roscommon and shows how to meet your HACCP duties and certify your team online with a single HACCP course.
Roscommon is known for a rural county built on beef and sheep farming with market-town hotels, pubs and restaurants. That local mix shapes the food safety pressures a food manufacturer here faces every week, but the legal baseline is the same nationwide: procedures based on the HACCP principles under Regulation (EC) No 852/2004, and trained food handlers.
The hazards a food manufacturer in Roscommon must control
A typical food manufacturer handles packaged products produced on a processing line at volume. The risks that bite hardest are critical control points across a process, allergen segregation between runs and metal and foreign-body detection - and they peak during a production line switching between allergen-containing recipes. The single most valuable control is to define and monitor every CCP, validate allergen cleandown between products and run metal detection and verification checks.
What HACCP training covers
- The biological, chemical, physical and allergenic hazards in your food.
- Critical control points and limits: 75C cooking core, cold storage at or below 5C, hot holding at or above 63C.
- Personal hygiene, handwashing and reporting illness.
- Cross-contamination, the 14 EU allergens and cleaning and sanitising.
- The records that prove due diligence when an Environmental Health Officer calls.
