Guaranteeing the safety of the food supply is a top governmental and industrial priority. While regulators and industry have depended upon spot-checks of manufacturing conditions and random samplings of final products to ensure food safety, this approach can be very inefficient.
Regulated quality management approaches provide traceability throughout the complete production process. This helps ensure compliance with internal and external standards, as well as government regulations. A strong and credible food safety system must:
| |
 |
Be built on scientific principles |
| |
|
Be accepted worldwide |
| |
|
Be adaptable and responsive |
| |
|
Incorporate a reliable inspection process that offers the same level of protection for domestic and imported foods |
| |
|
Provide a technology environment that ensures full traceability from start to finish in the process |
New systems such as Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) and Codex offer a systematic approach to identify and assess the biological, chemical and physical hazards associated with a particular food and dairy production process or practice. Many of these principles already are in place in certain industries.
Today's systems must give all parties in the food chain visibility into quality management procedures and results while ensuring prompt feedback. Using the latest in automation and thin-client technology, internal staff and customers can benefit from improved customer service. SAPPHIRE™ provides guidelines for creating an environment to help make food safe for consumers. |
