Food safety is related to the presence of food safety hazards at the time of consumption. Food safety hazards can occur at any stage of the food chain. Therefore, adequate control throughout the food chain is essential. Food safety is ensured through the combined efforts of all the parties in the food chain.
ISO 22000 FSMS integrates the HACCP principles; interactive communication; system management; and prerequisite programs.
