Food Safety
Food Safety
The presence of physical, chemical, and biological hazards at unacceptable levels in foods (including animal feed and beverages) renders them unsafe for consumption and is responsible for foodborne illnesses and injuries.
Food safety is a legal responsibility for businesses that produce, process, market, distribute, or sell foods, and effectively for all companies involved in the food chain, including those providing services and producing goods that affect or come into contact with food.
Today, food safety is mainly ensured through the implementation of food safety management systems based on Codex Alimentarius principles, aiming to anticipate, limit, or eliminate any potential hazards that may arise in a product during handling.
Multiple regulatory documents define distinct requirements for food safety management systems. They share many common points but also exhibit significant differences.
