A Southampton pet retailer has enhanced its food safety credentials with the successful completion of professional training by its logistics and warehousing team.
Three colleagues from the team at the Totton-based Healthy Pet Store have passed Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) training – warehouse supervisor Adam Norman and warehouse operatives Will Facciol and Andrew Hills. The training helps to identify, evaluate and control potential hazards in the supply chain process and means the store can confidently prevent, reduce or eliminate any risks associated with handling food and maintain the correct temperatures of all the produce.
Norman said: “The HACCP checks we make on a daily, weekly and monthly basis are at the pinnacle of food retailing, never mind pet food retailing, and this means we can ensure customers feel confident about the safety standards of our range of frozen meals.”
Managing director Deborah Burrows added: “Ensuring our logistics team is HACCP certified means we maintain the highest level of food safety and quality for our canine and feline consumers.
“Through a number of documented steps and checks, we go above and beyond what is required in our sector and this certification is a unique demonstration of our commitment to excellence in our industry.”
