Risk Categories Throughout the Food Chain.
Saturday, February 27th, 2010Food safety management systems will vary considerably throughout the food chain taking into account the risk category of the food and its intended use. Specific recognised codes of practice should be taken into account as well as general hygiene principles applicable to controlling
the relevant food safety hazards. The food safety management system should include the measures necessary and to ensure food safety and suitability of food for consumption. For all organisations an assessment of the risk should be made, preferably within the framework of the HACCP approach. This approach allows the systems to be applied with a proper regard for the overall objectives of producing food which is safe.
