MS 1480:2019 Food Safety as per the HACCP System

In Malaysia, the Department of Standards released the Malaysian Standard MS 1480 to define health and safety criteria for foods under the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) framework to guarantee food safety and hygiene during planning, processing, producing, packing, storage, transportation, delivery, treating or offering for sale or procurement in any food industry business. The standards of HACCP define food safety framework specifications where a food industry company needs to show its capacity to track food safety risks to guarantee that food is healthy when it is consumed by customers. On 3 January 2019, the second version of MS 1480:2019 Food Safety According to Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) System was released. It cancels this norm and replaces MS 1480:2007.
