HACCP for composting and anaerobic digestion

Composting and anaerobic digestion are an integral part of primary production and waste management, for example in the production of crop growth substrates and soil conditioners, and in energy production. The raw materials are obtained from agricultural, domestic and food business sources. Food safety and health requirements have to be ensured in these production operations. Legislation lays down minimum requirements, for example in food hygiene and the use of animal by-products, and operators take measures and adopt practices to ensure a high level of safety.

Recognised safety management systems based on a HACCP approach are a requirement of legislation or recommended in voluntary codes of practice. We have undertaken tailored training and assisted in the verification of HACCP systems in this sector. The common sense approach to assuring safety, embodied in the Codex principles of HACCP, is explained in the training with the use of specific case studies based on typical processes.
