This paper presents the results of a HACCP field study that was conducted by means of an anonymous
questionnaire survey. The survey was carried out from February 2014 to February 2015 with focus on food
producers in Slovakia. Most replies were gathered from food producers who produce food of animal origin. An
explanatory letter with questionnaires were sent via Internet and mail to fifty registered slaughterhouses and meat
product processing enterprises (the register is available at www.rvps.sk). The final structure of the questionnaire is
composed of seventeen questions. YES or NO choices were given for each question with a comment option to allow
for better understanding of the producer’s attitude towards HACCP. The first part of the questionnaire asked about
the establishment and implementation of HACCP in the premises. The second part focused on attitude of the
producers towards to HACCP functionality control by audits and by controlling authorities. In the third part of the
questionnaire, the respondents were asked about their opinion about HACCP-related regulations.
The questionnaire was answered by twenty-two from the fifty addressees. Although only twenty-two
questionnaires were available, we may say it is enough to serve the objectives of such a survey and allows us to
formulate some conclusions.
