A Food Control Plan (FCP) is a written plan for managing food safety day to day. Under the Food Act 2014, businesses making or selling higher-risk food operate under an FCP, based on HACCP principles and checked by verifiers from local councils or third-party agencies under guidance from the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI).
EasyOps gives hospitality teams digital tools to record, monitor and review their FCP records - so the checks get done every shift and the evidence is ready when the verifier arrives.
This is a general overview. Always refer to MPI and your local council for current official requirements.
