HACCP and ISO 22000 for food service and catering

Every food business in Greece must apply a self-monitoring system based on HACCP — that is not a choice, it is the law. The question is whether your system exists in practice or only in a binder gathering dust by the counter. ΕΦΕΤ can tell the difference in five minutes. We build systems of the first kind.

What ΕΦΕΤ actually inspects

Temperatures and log records, raw-material traceability, raw–cooked separation, cleaning schedules, pest control, staff training. The HACCP study we deliver maps your flow — not a generic template — and the records are designed to take minutes to complete.

When it pays to step up to ISO 22000

If you supply hotels, hospitals, ships or corporate meals, your client wants a certificate from an accredited body — not just a study. That is where ISO 22000 becomes a commercial tool: you enter supplier lists that are otherwise closed. The step from solid HACCP to ISO 22000 is smaller than you think.

FAQ — Food Service & Catering

We already have “some HACCP” from years ago. Is it enough?+

If it has not been updated for today’s menu, equipment and staff, it effectively does not exist. We revise or rebuild it — usually the latter is faster.

How much does a HACCP study for a restaurant cost?+

It depends on kitchen size and complexity (stations, menu, storage). The initial assessment is free and the quote written and specific.

Do you also handle staff training?+

Yes — it is legally required and the most critical piece for the system to work. It happens on your premises, in Greek or English for mixed teams.
