Welcome

The International Centre for HACCP Innovation (I.C.H.I) is a research and education unit of the University of Salford. The Centre contains the largest collection of HACCP practitioners and academics in Europe and works closely with national and international regulators and non-govermental organizations.

The Centre’s focus is on developing appropriate methodologies for the successful implementation of HACCP in the food industry; in providing the underpinning research evidence for policy formation and legislation; and in training and educating HACCP specialists to become leading members of the food safety community.

The Centre was the first to offer the postgraduate web based distance-learning Pg Cert / Dip / MSc in Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) in Europe. The first cohort began in March 2002, and there is now more than 150 students around the world on the course.

In Sept 04, the centre introduced another innovative new course, Pg Cert HACCP for Catering. It introduces students to HACCP principles, their specific application in catering, how to facilitate change and also the underpinning science behind HACCP.

Further to the open programme, there is a corporate program available to those organisations with ten or more students who wish to take the course 'in-house'.
