Miselup's HACCP module: what it does and what it doesn't

What is Miselup’s HACCP module?

It’s the part of Miselup you use to run your food safety self-checks without paper. It has four pieces, chained together:

• The plan — your food safety manual inside the app. It starts out «in draft», and once you sign it, it becomes «in force» with its own edition number.
• The control points — every place or task the plan keeps an eye on: a cold room, goods receiving, cleaning.
• The records — what gets logged every day at each point, with its verdict.
• The book and the report — the manual and the period’s records, filterable and printable. The available CSV is for temperatures, not the record book.

Does Miselup write my HACCP plan or advise me on it?

Miselup helps you document and review the plan, but it is not a food safety consultancy. In the draft you can assess hazards, adopt catalog proposals or exclude them with a reason, link them to control points, and complete the team, scope, intended use, flow and on-site confirmation. Your establishment is responsible for those decisions.

In Spain, applicable limits from the Spanish legal catalog are filled in automatically with their citation. Where a criterion is missing, you declare it in «Set criteria», with a value and justification; your own criterion cannot weaken an applicable legal limit. In every other country, the plan uses Codex Alimentarius (CXC 1-1969, rev. 2020) and the operator’s criteria, frequencies and process windows: Spanish figures are not universal law. Miselup documents the system; it does not certify local legal compliance.

Signing seals the exact review of the manual. The report separates the approved manual, later operational changes and the record book. It declares documentary items still pending: an approved edition with pending items does not establish a complete HACCP system. Older manuals keep what was signed; they do not receive a hazard analysis invented afterwards. How to create and sign a new edition.

Where do I find HACCP inside the app?

In the sidebar, under the «HACCP» group, with three entries:

1. «Lots» — view lots and their traceability.
2. «Temperatures» — the «Temperature control» screen: you add equipment with its range and log readings.
3. «Records» — the «Record book»: the plan, «Due today», the control points and the book for the period.

Open the report from «HACCP» → «Temperatures» → «View report & print». It is the document you hand an inspector.

What do I need before I start with HACCP?

1. A declared site and country. The plan belongs to a site and keeps the country and normative basis it was created with. If the site is missing, the app sends you to «Go to company details».
2. An activity profile (restaurant, production workshop, central kitchen, event catering, vulnerable populations…): it determines which control points get created and how strict the plan is.
3. An identified person responsible for HACCP and an identified signer. The person responsible for HACCP is identified in the manual; this is not an account role. Sign with a person’s full name, not a company name. If the person’s name matches the business name, they must confirm they are signing as a person.

Who is the HACCP module for?

• The account owner or administrator, the only roles that can activate and approve the plan. They also set the criteria, review the book and prepare the report.
• The kitchen team, who log from their phones in the team portal — with the kitchen link and their PIN — without entering the management dashboard. They also see open receiving and lot-storage obligations for authorised controls and link them when recording. Only the final act covers the obligation; starting a two-act process leaves it in progress.
• The inspector, who gets a document with the period’s records, who logged each one, the missing checks and the annex of corrections.

How do I record transport and retention samples?

With Mise Pro HACCP, both workflows can be completed in the dashboard or team portal: transport has loading → unloading acts, and retention samples have origin → destination acts. The final act stays linked to the start, lot and linked obligation. Duration is calculated from observation times; the sample’s destination does not restart its retention deadline. Time windows are judged against the plan’s applicable criterion: the ES catalog where applicable, or an operator declaration where there is no applicable catalog figure or the plan uses Codex.

An older open process can finish normally when the necessary data is present. If its food family is missing, declare it at finish. The historical opening stays intact; missing data is not reconstructed. The portal lets the team complete the workflow; authorised abandonment is handled in management.

What unit should I use for contact time?

New cleaning and disinfection records and criteria use minutes. An older criterion without a unit needs a new version with an explicit unit. Historical records without a unit keep their value and print with a warning that no unit was recorded; they are not automatically treated as minutes.

Does it depend on my subscription?

Reading and printing your book never depends on your subscription: it’s your food safety paperwork and it stays whole even if you change plan. What the subscription decides is which new records you can add: temperatures are on the Mise Pro subscription and the rest of the records (goods receiving, cleaning, pests, training, allergens, water) on the Mise Pro HACCP subscription. How to record them and declare verification is in prerequisites and verification. The terms of each are at miselup.pro/en/pricing.

Known limits

• Miselup does not legally validate your plan. It describes, stores and prints what you log; the content of your food safety system is your establishment’s responsibility.
• No sensors. Readings are typed in: there are no connected probes and no continuous monitoring.
• The six process CCPs already have capture: cooking, blast chilling, reheating, egg preparation, anisakis treatment and thawing. Configure them in the plan and record them from the dashboard or team portal; two-act processes have a start and a finish. Authorised abandonment is handled in management, not in the portal.
• Capture has a defined scope. Other types still have no form, and there is no general visible list of them all marked «Capture coming soon». The manual declares the exclusions that affect it.
• Event detection is partial: food purchase-order receipts and storage per produced food lot. Dispatches, services and thermal operations require the operator’s declaration; not every business operation is detected.
