HACCP Australia

What HACCP Australia does

HACCP Australia Pty Ltd is an Australian food safety certification, training, and consulting organization founded in 1999 and headquartered in North Sydney, employing 51-100 people. The company's core offering is built around the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) Food Safety Methodology, derived from the Codex Alimentarius framework. It delivers full HACCP programme development and implementation for food processors and manufacturers, a simplified "HACCP Lite" programme for restaurants and small caterers, a recognized certification mark (the HACCP Australia Certification Trade Mark) for non-food products and services used in the food industry, and RABQSA-certified auditing and certification services approved for regulatory audits in NSW, Queensland, and Victoria. Sister entity HACCP International extends the certification mark and services to customers across 42 countries, supported by regional operations including a Fiji office.

The business operates four revenue streams: certification services (recurring product and site certification), professional services consultancy delivered by in-house food scientists, group training (for 10+ participants), and an online training platform launched in partnership with National Food Institute (RTO #3821) that sells accredited courses such as Food Safety Supervisor, Basic Food Safety, Advanced HACCP, and Allergen Management to individuals and corporates via Stripe. GTM is bifurcated: direct sales-led engagement with enterprise and supplier accounts, and product-led growth for the SMB online training channel. Marketing relies on content (website, white papers, Food Safety Bulletin distributed to thousands of Australian food businesses with sister publications in Asia, Europe, and the Americas), LinkedIn, and free monthly Round Table Workshops at the North Sydney office.

In early 2026 the company was acquired by AFNOR International, a division of the French standards organization Afnor Groupe, integrating HACCP Australia and HACCP International into AFNOR's global network of 37 offices across approximately 100 countries and over 3,000 auditors and trainers. The deal extends AFNOR's footprint in Australasia and the Pacific while giving HACCP access to European distribution. Customer logos span Bakkafrost, Dyson, Rentokil Initial, Flowcrete, Testo, 3M, Magnattack, Argelith, Tersano, and others across food processing, industrial flooring, hand hygiene, pest control, cleaning technology, instrumentation, and food technology verticals.

Broad incumbents

• Eurofins Scientific: Largest food testing laboratory network with growing food certification/audit services. Comparable end-customers (food processors/retailers) and shared value chain around hazard analysis, though Eurofins is more testing-centric while HACCP is certification-centric.
• Bureau Veritas: Major TIC (testing, inspection, certification) player with a global food and agri commodity vertical including HACCP/food-safety auditing. Comparable scope of certification services for food industry clients, but with broader portfolio and stronger global brand recognition.
• SGS SA: Global leader in testing, inspection and certification including food safety auditing and HACCP-aligned certification. Operates at vastly larger scale across every major market, making it both a competitor for enterprise HACCP contracts and a benchmark for the addressable market.
• TÜV SÜD: International certification body with food safety management system audits (FSSC 22000, ISO 22000) and product certification services. Comparable function of certifying food-safe operations and products, typically competing for larger food manufacturer clients.
• DNV (Food Safety): Independent certification body offering food safety management system audits and chain-of-custody certification. Provides overlapping HACCP-adjacent certification and auditing services, particularly within European and global food supply chains.
• Intertek Group: Global quality assurance provider with extensive food services including auditing to HACCP, ISO 22000, and BRC standards. Directly comparable offering for food processors, with overlapping consultancy and certification revenue streams.

Direct peers

• NSF International: Specialist food safety services and certification body offering HACCP-aligned training, auditing, and product certification. Closely comparable niche positioning to HACCP Australia in food safety standards, particularly in North America and globally for supplier certification.
• AIB International (Anabel Canchola): Specialist food safety training, auditing and consulting organization serving food manufacturers worldwide. Closely mirrors HACCP Australia's HACCP-aligned auditing and food safety training model, particularly for bakery and processed food segments.

Regional players

• ALS Limited: Australia-headquartered testing, inspection and certification firm with strong food and environmental testing capabilities. Comparable domestic Australian footprint and overlapping food industry client base, particularly relevant given HACCP Australia's regional concentration.

Others

• Afnor Groupe (parent): French standards and certification organization that acquired HACCP Australia in 2026. Newly combined entity now functions as a peer in food safety certification, with AFNOR bringing broader ISO/IEC standards portfolio and HACCP bringing Codex HACCP specialization and APAC delivery.
