To support the SMEs to establish, implement and maintain their own HACCP system through on-line tool.
My HACCP Tool is a free web-based tool developed by LocalFood - an incubator for small start-up food business initiatives. The tool guides the companies through the process of developing a food safety management system, which can recommend measures avoiding certain food frauds.
The purpose of My HACCP is to provide a web based tool with an aim to support small food production companies. After completing all the information and questionnaires, the final version is a document that the companies can print and store it for further provision it to the inspection authorities, if needed. The system is designed in such a way that the companies can safely store documentation online until they decide to proceed. My HACCP tool guides the enterprises through all stages of the HACCP plan, providing them with helpful documentation for each stage.
What are the steps?
1. Register
2. Create a HACCP printout for your management facility by following the steps.
3. Print or download the documentation you have developed
If the firms need to change their HACCP plan after a time- while (eg add new products, processes, processing methods), they just need to re-enter My HACCP, open the saved documentation, to change and then print the final document again.

Evidence of success

The number of companies that use the on line tool is increasing. The information about the HACCP is very extensive but very chaotically provided, especially when provided in various Internet sources. My HACCP tool, on the other hand, gives free, user-friendly well-structured information with help menus.

Potential for learning or transfer

The HACCP on line tool is effective and useful instrument used by SMEs in order to follow the requirements for HACCP documentation. The model could be applied in other countries especially in time of COVID when the digitalisation and on line tools are more used by the companies.
