HACCP for Central Kitchens & Ready-Meal Producers

High-volume kitchens producing chilled and ready-to-eat meals need tight time-temperature and allergen control. We build the system and get you DM- and audit-ready.

What this sector needs

Central production kitchens and ready-meal manufacturers handle both animal and plant ingredients at scale, often producing ready-to-eat food where there is no further cooking step before the consumer. That makes time-temperature control, cooling, allergen segregation and cross-contamination the make-or-break controls.

Dubai Municipality scrutinises central kitchens closely, and contract caterers and retailers demand documented HACCP. We design a system around your menu and flow — receiving, prep, cook, blast-chill, assembly, dispatch — and get your team ready for inspection and certification.

Which certification fits you

Most businesses climb the same ladder. We help you certify at the level your buyers and regulators actually require — no more, no less.

HACCP

A documented hazard analysis with critical control points — the food safety foundation and the basis for Dubai Municipality food registration.

Start · DM registration

ISO 22000

A full food safety management system: HACCP plus prerequisite programmes, management commitment and continual improvement.

Structured FSMS

FSSC 22000

ISO 22000 plus sector-specific prerequisites and extra requirements — GFSI-recognised and accepted by global buyers.

Menu and recipe-based hazard analysis with CCPs (cook, chill, hold)
Cooling and reheating time-temperature controls
Allergen management and segregation plan
Cleaning, sanitation and pest-control programmes
Staff training and personal hygiene records
Traceability, batch coding and recall procedure

How we get you certified

Four stages from first assessment to a successful certification audit. We build and run the system with you; an accredited certification body issues the certificate.

Gap assessment

We benchmark your current practices against the standard and DM requirements, and map exactly what is missing.

Build the system

We develop your HACCP plan, prerequisite programmes and FSMS documentation around your real process.

Internal audit & readiness

We train your team, run an internal audit and close gaps so you walk into the audit prepared.

Certification audit

An accredited certification body audits and issues the certificate. We support you through both stages and any findings.

Frequently asked questions

Do central kitchens in Dubai need HACCP certification?
Dubai Municipality requires central kitchens to operate a documented HACCP system and to register. Many catering and retail contracts additionally require ISO 22000. We prepare both the DM file and the management system.
Which food safety scope does my business fall under?
Central kitchens producing mixed (animal and plant) and ready-to-eat products fall in the manufacturing scope for perishable mixed products. We confirm scope so every production stream is covered.
Does CorpBridge issue the certificate?
No. We prepare and implement your food safety management system and get your team audit-ready. The certificate itself is issued by an accredited certification body after a successful audit — keeping the consultancy and certification roles properly separate.
What is the hardest control for ready meals?
Cooling and cold-holding. Getting cooked food through the danger zone fast enough, and validating it, is where most kitchens struggle — we design the monitoring and records that prove control.
