摘要
This paper reports the results of a study of the costs and benefits associated with the implementation and operation of HACCP in the UK dairy processing sector. The results suggest that the major cost of implementing and operating HACCP in dairy processing plants is staff time required to document the system. The costs of capital investment and external technical expertise are less important. The most important benefit is the enhanced ability to retain existing customers. The results have implications for the adoption of HACCP in the UK dairy processing sector as well as the food industry as a whole. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
