HACCP Compliance Checklist Calculator

It turns your list of recurring obligations, things like the HACCP plan review, fire extinguisher checks, extraction hood cleaning, business permits and instrument calibration, into a single compliance score. You enter how many obligations you have in total, how many are currently in order and how many are due soon, and it returns your compliance percentage, the number of overdue items and the share due soon. These are indicative values to help you prioritise, not a formal audit result.

Compliance percentage is obligations in order divided by total obligations, times 100. Overdue items are total minus those in order minus those due soon. The overdue share is overdue divided by total, and the due-soon share is due-soon divided by total. Keeping these three buckets, in order, due soon and overdue, gives you a clear picture of where attention is needed.

Typical entries for a food business include the HACCP self-control plan and its review, staff food-safety training, pest control, fire safety equipment, extraction and ventilation cleaning, equipment calibration and the relevant operating permits. The exact list, and how often each must be renewed, depends on your activity and location, so build the checklist from the local regulations that apply to you.

Due soon means an obligation is still valid but approaching its renewal or review date, so it needs action shortly. Overdue means the deadline has already passed and the obligation is no longer in order, which is the highest-priority category. Tracking due-soon items lets you act before they slip into overdue, which is exactly what auditors and inspectors expect to see.

Not on its own. The score is an indicative management aid based on the figures you enter; it does not verify that each obligation is correctly documented or that your records would satisfy an inspector. Use it to focus effort, but always confirm the actual requirements and evidence against the local regulations in force.
