HACCP MS1480:2025 Transition Training

📌 Course Overview
The Malaysian Standard MS 1480:2025 is the third revision of the HACCP standard and officially replaces MS 1480:2019. This revision introduces clearer structure, enhanced hazard analysis expectations, expanded validation and verification requirements, strengthened documentation controls, and new clauses related to operation, maintenance and continual improvement of the HACCP system.

This HACCP MS1480 Transition Training (2019 → 2025) is specifically designed to guide organisations through the transition process by explaining what has changed, why it has changed, and how to comply with the latest standard.
