The major food manufacturers are diligently committed to food product safety, alongside their commitment to quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction. Food safety incidents receive widespread media coverage and consumer awareness of the issue is growing.

Additionally, authorities require organizations in the food chain to comply with food safety provisions as a condition for obtaining a product permit.

There is a wide variety of standards dealing with food safety, including:

• HACCP
• FSSC 22000/ISO 22000
• BRC and BRC-IoP
• IFS
• GolobalGAP and more
• The standards emphasize different points. Nevertheless, they all share a preventive approach, aimed at minimizing and reducing risks to public health. This principle is achieved by performing a risk assessment and determining the critical control measures (CCPs / preventive controls). In addition to performing risk assessments, a management system must be in place and include the ability to identify resources, define prerequisite programs (PRPs), prevent food fraud, enable food defense, and more.
