Imagine this... It’s 6:30 AM. You’ve just arrived at your food manufacturing facility. The production floor needs to be spotless before the QA team walks in for their routine check. You glance around... surfaces are clean, bins are empty, equipment looks pristine. But here’s the thing: clean isn’t always safe. Especially not in a food environment where one slip-up could lead to a costly recall or sick customers.
This is where the real value of a HACCP-certified cleaning partner comes into play. And we’re proud to say: Cleancorp is now officially HACCP certified.
If you're in food production, hospitality, health care, aged care, or any environment where hygiene isn’t just important but mission-critical, this is big news for you.
First, What Is HACCP?
HACCP stands for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points. It’s an internationally recognised system used across the food industry to identify, monitor, and control biological, chemical, and physical hazards throughout production and handling.
Basically, it’s a structured, science-backed way to keep food environments safe by preventing problems before they happen.
For cleaning companies like Cleancorp, it means:
-
We follow strict hygiene protocols tailored to food environments
-
Our staff are trained in food-safe cleaning procedures
-
Every step is documented, traceable, and auditable
So instead of just wiping down surfaces, we’re actively reducing the risk of contamination with systems in place to prove it.
Why Should This Matter to You?
When it comes to food safety, there’s no room for shortcuts. Whether you’re preparing meals in bulk, packaging food for retail, or running a commercial kitchen, the cleaning service you hire plays a direct role in your compliance (and your peace of mind).
Here’s how our HACCP certification benefits you:
Easier Compliance
You need to meet strict food safety standards. Partnering with a HACCP-certified cleaner like Cleancorp makes audits simpler, and gives you documentation that satisfies both internal QA and external auditors.
Reduced Risk
We’re actively preventing cross-contamination and controlling microbial hazards. That means fewer risks, fewer complaints, and fewer sleepless nights.
Proven Systems
From colour-coded equipment to chemical usage logs and validated cleaning processes, everything we do is built to align with HACCP principles. It means you’re getting a process that stands up to scrutiny.
It’s Not Just HACCP... Here’s What Else We Bring to the Table
This new certification adds to a suite of standards that Cleancorp already holds:
-
ISO 9001 (Quality Management) – ensures consistency and top-tier quality across all sites
-
ISO 14001 (Environmental Management) – proves we’re committed to reducing environmental impact
-
ISO 45001 (Health & Safety) – protects both our people and yours
-
B Corp Certified – we meet the highest standards of social and environmental performance
-
EcoVadis Rated – globally benchmarked for sustainability and corporate responsibility
- Sedex Membership - ensures a company is committed to the fair treatment of workers, transparency, sustainability, and ethical business practices
Why does this matter? Because certifications aren’t just badges—they’re signals of trust. They show that we walk the talk, and that when you hire Cleancorp, you’re choosing a partner that takes safety, sustainability, and accountability seriously.
What HACCP Looks Like in Practice
With HACCP in place, our teams don’t just show up with a mop and a checklist. They arrive with:
-
Documented cleaning protocols tailored to food zones
-
Colour-coded tools to prevent cross-contamination
-
Approved food-safe chemicals (or chemical-free options, where preferred)
-
Staff trained specifically for HACCP environments
-
Logs and records that keep you audit-ready, 24/7
In short, your cleaning becomes predictable, consistent, and safe.
Why Settle for Less?
Not every commercial cleaning company understands the pressures of food safety. Some will promise the world, but fall short when it counts, especially under audit or during a contamination scare.
By choosing a HACCP-certified provider, you’re raising the standard. You’re choosing a team that understands what’s at stake and has the training, systems, and accountability to deliver.
