Prerequisite programmes (PRPs)

What are prerequisites (PRP)?

Prerequisites (PRP) are the basic hygiene conditions and activities needed to maintain a safe production environment, such as maintenance, pest control, staff training or cleaning. They underpin the food safety system.

They are the foundation on which HACCP is built: without solid PRP, control of critical points loses effectiveness.
