HACCP Coordinator Salary 2026,
What HACCP Coordinators Actually Earn

How much do haccp coordinators make in 2026?

HACCP coordinators are reported inside SOC 19-1012, food scientists and technologists, which BLS OEWS May 2025 puts at a national median of $88,720 a year, or $42.65 an hour, with a P10 to P90 range of $52,920 to $145,280 across 13,060 workers. That is a broad match, since the code covers technical food science while this role is plan governance and verification. The work is specific: maintaining the hazard analysis, defining critical control points and their limits, ensuring monitoring happens and is recorded, managing deviations and corrective actions, running reassessment when a process or ingredient changes, and holding the documentation together well enough that a regulator or auditor can follow it. Pay depends heavily on scope. A coordinator maintaining a plan at a single site sits around or below the middle of this band; one responsible for plans across multiple facilities, or for products where the hazard analysis is genuinely difficult such as ready-to-eat meat, seafood or low-acid canned goods, sits materially higher. In many organisations this role is the practical stepping stone into food safety and quality management. BLS projects 6.5% growth through 2034 with roughly 1,200 openings a year. → Full haccp coordinator career guide, career path, credentials & placement →

Published (BLS): BLS OEWS May 2025, SOC 19-1012, United States national estimate. Public, methodologically rigorous, but sampled on a rolling 3-year basis and published ~10 months after collection — so it reflects wages that are already 1–2 years old by the time you read them.

Level and certification medians: distributed across the published BLS percentile range for this SOC code (P10 through P90) according to the credential tiers this occupation actually hires at. They are modeled reference points, not separately surveyed wages.

State and metro figures: modeled — the BLS national median multiplied by the GlobalCybers state wage index, and for metros by the published metro index for that state. They are estimates of local pay, not BLS state or metropolitan-area observations, and are labelled as modeled in the tables below.

No verified placement sample:GlobalCybers does not yet publish a placement median for this role, so no "verified" figure appears anywhere on this page.
