I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.  All opinions are my own.

Author NEMO shares the process of getting specific certification for your vegan kitchen in the book “Certifications: HACCP, ISO 22000, ISO 9001.”

THE SYNOPSIS

Certification opens doors that stay shut to those who work well without documenting it: public tenders, institutional catering, European funding calls. This volume explains which ones you need and in what order to obtain them.

Six chapters: the food certification system, the step from mandatory HACCP to its certification, ISO 22000 and ISO 9001 one at a time, the integrated IMS system, and the certifications of the vegan and organic world, from the Vegan Society trademark to B Corp.

The recommended sequence starts from a solid in-house HACCP system: certifying one before building it properly returns little.

THE REVIEW

This is one of the most comprehensive and detailed entries in this vegan cookbook series. Rather than focusing on pure vegan recipes or cooking methods, the book focuses on the certification process kitchens need to complete to open a vegan kitchen. The precise detail the Author provides on this process adds depth and business-side knowledge to the reader’s understanding of vegan businesses as a whole.

Readers not only get a glimpse of the specific certification processes needed and which certifications help open a vegan kitchen, but also what each certification requires and the steps the reader must take if they decide to go down this path. The author writes in a way that is succinct, detailed, and yet right, with a passion for this world that is harder not to feel when considering opening a vegan kitchen.

THE VERDICT

Detailed, organized, and insightful, Author Nemo’s “Certifications: HACCP, ISO 22000, ISO 9001” is a must-read non-fiction book on vegan kitchens and business as a whole. The straightforward lessons on how to get the proper certification to build the business readers are seeking make it a great reference guide they can use time and time again when preparing to earn these certifications on their own.
