Control measures

The PRPs list shows various possible hazards and points of attention. The applicable aspects are governed by procedures, instructions and the associated measures. Based on the fact that they originate from the PRPs or that the PRPs have given rise to the preparation of these measures, they are not guided by the decision tree. The following measures are in force within our company and are assessed at least annually or in the event of a new risk or an incident with food safety or food defense.
