HACCP requires traceability. kazva.bg on every package.

Customer complaints trigger corrective action under HACCP. BRC v9 demands documented complaint handling with root cause analysis.

Mandatory Requirement

EU Regulation 852/2004 / HACCP is mandatory for all food businesses in the EU:

  • Customer complaints trigger corrective action investigation (Principle 5)
  • Complaint data must be analyzed for trends

BRC Global Standard v9 (de facto mandatory for suppliers to major EU retailers — 30,000+ certified sites globally):

  • §3.10: Complaints must be recorded, investigated, root cause analyzed
  • §3.11: Annual Complaint Analyzer required — monitoring trends and patterns

kazva.bg QR codes on packaging (14-15% scan rate) capture consumer feedback that feeds HACCP/BRC complaint monitoring systems.
