Food safety is not optional. In Ireland, every food business is legally required to implement a food safety management system based on the principles of HACCP – Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points.
Our HACCP Management Consultancy service helps businesses across the food sector design, implement, and maintain HACCP systems that are both legally compliant and practical for daily operations. Whether you run a café, manage a production line, or oversee catering in a healthcare setting, our consultants make HACCP simple, achievable, and effective.
At Philip & Son Training Consultants, we combine compliance expertise with a practical, business-friendly approach. We don’t just hand over a generic plan — we work with you to understand your processes, identify risks, and create a HACCP system that genuinely works for your business.
With our consultancy support, you can be confident your HACCP plan meets Irish and EU food safety law, satisfies the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI), and keeps you inspection-ready at all times. For official guidance on HACCP, see the FSAI HACCP page.
You can also combine this service with our Training Services, including Food Safety Training, to ensure your staff are fully equipped to maintain standards on the ground.
Our HACCP consultancy is designed for businesses and organisations of all sizes that handle food. Typical clients include:
Restaurants and cafés – ensuring safe preparation and service.
Hotels, pubs, and catering companies – protecting guests and event customers.
Food manufacturers and processors – managing high-volume production safely.
