/food-safety-haccp

Get a Kosovo food business its safety paperwork in order: registration with the Food & Veterinary Agency, a HACCP-based plan, the daily logs inspectors expect, and a pre-inspection checklist. This drafts working documents and checklists; it does not certify the business or replace an AUV inspection or a qualified food-safety consultant.

Usage

/food-safety-haccp $ARGUMENTS

Examples:

• /food-safety-haccp build a HACCP plan for a 40-seat restaurant with a grill and cold prep
• /food-safety-haccp what do I need to register with AUV?
• /food-safety-haccp prepare us for a sanitary inspection next week
• /food-safety-haccp make me a fridge/freezer temperature log
• /food-safety-haccp allergen matrix for the menu

Flow 1 — AUV registration prep

A restaurant is a food business operator and must be registered/approved with the Food & Veterinary Agency (AUV) and run HACCP-based procedures. The skill assembles the prep pack:

AUV REGISTRATION PREP — [Business name]
  Business form & ARBK no.:        [____]
  Premises address:                [____]
  Activity (restaurant/café/catering): [____]
  Registration vs approval:        [confirm with AUV which applies]
  Documents to gather:
    [ ] ARBK registration extract
    [ ] Premises layout / suitability
    [ ] Water supply / potability evidence
    [ ] Waste & pest-control arrangements
    [ ] Staff hygiene / health records
    [ ] HACCP-based food-safety plan (see Flow 2)
    [ ] Sanitary certificate (Sanitary Inspectorate)

⚠️ Whether your premises needs registration (most establishments) or approval (higher-risk) and the exact documents are set by AUV. Confirm the current procedure on auvk.rks-gov.net — the skill prepares; AUV decides.

Flow 2 — HACCP-based food-safety plan

Walk the seven HACCP principles for the venue's actual flow (receiving → storage → prep → cook → hold → serve):

1. Hazard analysis — biological (pathogens), chemical (cleaning agents, allergens), physical (glass, metal) at each step.
2. Critical Control Points (CCPs) — typically: chilled storage, cooking temperature, hot/cold holding, reheating.
3. Critical limits — e.g. cook to a safe core temperature; cold storage ≤ the required fridge temperature; hot hold above the required temperature. (Use the limits in your plan/AUV guidance — the skill leaves the exact °C as fields to confirm against current guidance, not invented numbers.)
4. Monitoring — who checks what, how often (the logs in Flow 3).
5. Corrective actions — what to do when a limit is breached (reject, discard, re-cook, recalibrate).
6. Verification — periodic review, calibration of thermometers, records audit.
7. Documentation — keep the plan and the logs.

Produce the plan as a structured document with a CCP table:

Step        Hazard           CCP?  Critical limit   Monitor        Corrective action
Receiving   Temp abuse       Y     [≤ __ °C]        Each delivery  Reject delivery
Cold store  Pathogen growth  Y     [≤ __ °C]        2×/day log     Discard / move stock
Cooking     Survival         Y     [≥ __ °C core]   Each batch     Continue cooking
Hot hold    Growth           Y     [≥ __ °C]        Hourly         Reheat / discard
...

Flow 3 — Daily logs (what inspectors look for)

Generate ready-to-print logs:

• Fridge/freezer temperature log (unit, target, AM/PM reading, initials, action).
• Cooking/hot-holding temperature log.
• Cleaning schedule (area, frequency, product, done-by).
• Delivery/goods-in check (supplier, temp, condition, accepted/rejected).
• Allergen matrix (dish × the allergens present) — Kosovo aligns toward EU food law; confirm whether menu allergen disclosure is mandated.

Flow 4 — Inspection-readiness checklist

PRE-INSPECTION CHECK — [date]
  [ ] AUV registration/approval current
  [ ] Sanitary certificate displayed/available
  [ ] HACCP plan on site and being followed
  [ ] Temperature logs complete and up to date
  [ ] Cleaning schedule signed off
  [ ] Staff hygiene records / training evidence
  [ ] Pest control records
  [ ] Allergen information available
  [ ] No-smoking signage (indoor smoking ban applies)
  [ ] Waste handling compliant

Reference (cache)

• Authority: AUV / FVA (Autoriteti për Ushqim dhe Veterinari) — food registration/approval, HACCP, inspections; Law 03/L-016 on Food, harmonising toward EU hygiene rules.
• Sanitary certificate: issued by the Sanitary Inspectorate; controls by the Central Inspectorate + municipal inspectors.
• Smoking: indoor smoking ban in hospitality (Law 04/L-156).
• Critical temperature limits and the registration-vs-approval line are verify-items — see research/kosovo-hospitality.md.

What this skill does NOT do

• Does not certify the business or pass an inspection — it prepares documents and logs; AUV/the Sanitary Inspectorate decide.
• Does not invent temperature limits — it leaves critical limits as fields to fill from current AUV/HACCP guidance.
• Not a substitute for a food-safety consultant for a complex or high-risk operation.

Tips

1. Map the real flow first. A grill + cold-prep kitchen has different CCPs than a bakery — build the plan around what they actually cook.
2. Logs win inspections. A followed plan with complete logs beats a perfect binder no one fills in.
3. Confirm the temperature limits against current AUV guidance before printing the plan — don't hard-code numbers.
4. Chain into docx/pdf for a printable plan and laminated logs; offer food-safety-haccp refresh when the menu changes.
