HACCP requirements for Donegal food businesses

Donegal's food economy is shaped by the Wild Atlantic Way, the Inishowen Peninsula, the Killybegs fishing port and the Gaeltacht tourism trail. Add busy market towns like Letterkenny, Buncrana and Bundoran, and you have one of the most diverse food sectors in Ireland. Every food business in the county must comply with EC Regulation 852/2004 and Irish S.I. No. 369/2006: every food handler needs HACCP-aligned training and every premises must run a documented HACCP-based food-safety management system.

Donegal County Council Environmental Health Officers, working with the FSAI, can issue improvement notices, closure orders and prosecutions for missing HACCP records, allergen failures or temperature breaches. Our online course is the cheapest, fastest way to keep every Donegal team member compliant year round.
