The international method of providing food safety, which also helps beekeepers to achieve a higher standard of bee products safety, is called the HACCP system. In the European Union, Member States are promoting the development of national guidelines of good practice for hygiene and the application of HACCP principles. The system enables the identification, assessment, taking action and control of any harmful substances present in food that may pose a health risk. Guidelines for good hygiene habits in beekeeping offer basic guidelines for establishing and maintaining internal control according to the principles of the HACCP system.
