FAQ

HACCP app questions answered.

Yes. EU Regulation 852/2004 — which applies in all 27 EU member states including Germany, Netherlands, France and Italy — and the UK Food Safety Act 1990 both require every food business to maintain documented HACCP-based food safety records. In Australia, FSANZ Standard 3.2.1 requires equivalent systems. Environmental Health Officers (UK), Veterinäramt (Germany), NVWA (Netherlands) and equivalent authorities can request records at any unannounced inspection.

Yes. HACCPapp's core compliance features — temperature logging, daily checks, allergen matrix, 2-year record retention and PDF export — meet the requirements of EU Regulation 852/2004 which applies identically in Germany, Netherlands, France, Italy and all other EU countries. German (Deutsch) and Dutch (Nederlands) language versions are in development. Visit haccpapp.net/de or haccpapp.net/nl when available.

The UK FSA recommends minimum 2 years. EU HACCP guidance also recommends 2 years. HACCPapp stores all records in the cloud for the full 2 years automatically. Most competitor apps delete records after 90 days, leaving you legally exposed without knowing it.

Yes — HACCPapp is built offline-first. All temperature checks and daily checks are saved instantly on the device. When internet is available — WiFi or mobile data — everything syncs to the cloud automatically. This works in any kitchen in any country.

EU Regulation 1169/2011 and UK law require declaration of 14 allergens: Gluten, Crustaceans, Eggs, Fish, Peanuts, Soya, Milk, Nuts, Celery, Mustard, Sesame seeds, Sulphur dioxide/Sulphites, Lupin, and Molluscs. HACCPapp tracks all 14 across every menu item and generates a full allergen matrix PDF for display and inspections.

Three key differences: (1) 2-year cloud retention — competitor apps delete records after 90 days, which is legally non-compliant. (2) Price — we charge £9.99/month vs £150+ for enterprise tools that small businesses can't afford. (3) Compliance score dashboard — a real-time readiness score showing exactly what needs attention before an inspection. No other HACCP app offers this.
