Abstract
HACCP requirements are fast becoming an integral part of international trade in food commodities and New Zealand has responded to this trend by repositioning its approach to HACCP in the food export sector. New Zealand industries remain the primary stakeholders in the stewardship of HACCP while structural changes within the regulatory environment have ensured that overall responsibilities remain with “core government” while introducing flexibility in some aspects of delivery of HACCP programmes. Trends emerging internationally have changed scientific, operational and political dynamics, particularly highlighting the value of validating HACCP plans according to food-safety objectives. Negotiation of equivalence between trading partners, of HACCP programmes that are genuinely science- and risk-based, continues to be New Zealand's primary market access approach.
