HACCP became mandatory from June 2021.

We will also introduce information on how to respond, whether there are penalties, and estimated costs at the time of implementation!

The revised Food Sanitation Act of 2020 mandated the introduction and operation of HACCP for all businesses handling food starting in June 2021. According to a survey by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries in 2021, over 90% of businesses with annual sales of over 300 million yen have already implemented HACCP. On the other hand, about 30% of businesses with annual sales of less than 50 million yen have indicated plans to implement it in the future. As the above figures indicate, the mandatory implementation of HACCP remains a challenge for many businesses, and the reality is that they are still in the process of addressing it. Especially for small and medium-sized enterprises, there are ongoing questions and concerns regarding the obligation to implement HACCP. This article will clearly explain the details regarding the mandatory implementation of HACCP, the penalties for non-compliance, the background of HACCP implementation, and the estimated costs associated with its introduction and operation. *For more detailed information, please refer to the link below.*
