The file is an OLE document containing VBA macros, flagged by heuristics as malicious. The document body presents a HACCP plan, a common lure for social engineering. The presence of VBA macros suggests an attempt to execute malicious code upon enabling them. The ClamAV detections 'Doc.Trojan.Ethan-20' and 'Doc.Trojan.Ethan-1' further confirm its malicious nature, though the specific family could not be determined.
