Its application implies adherence to standard operating procedures and instructions that reduce food safety risks.

HACCP

  • Establishes, assesses and controls hazards that could affect food safety,
  • The system manages food quality and safety based on prevention,
  • Every employee is informed about what, how, when and why to do in order to prevent food risks, but also their personal responsibilities in order for the end user to consume healthy and safe food.

Established hygiene practices are essential to monitor the situation throughout the food production chain, from primary production to the final product. Its application prevents contamination and provides an adequate food handling environment.

For successful management and work of the organization, it is necessary to manage it in a systematic and transparent way. Success is much more certain as a result of implementing and maintaining a quality management system.

ISO 9001 is the most widely used international standard that sets requirements for the establishment and maintenance of quality management systems, and is applicable to organizations of all types.

It covers the basic processes within the organization (sales, development, procurement, production / provision of services, improvement,…), ensuring through the following actions that these processes are conducted in 

supervised conditions:

  • process description (input and output values, process owner, process flow, responsibilities, process requirements, KPIs),
  • setting measurable process goals based on comparable data and information,
  • measuring and monitoring the process through key performance indicators (KPIs) of the process,
  • analyzing data and reporting on the success of the process,
  • process improvement.

The quality management system according to the requirements of the ISO 9001 standard is used all over the world today, and the certification of this system is a generally accepted way of proving to the current and potential partner that the product or service will meet its quality requirements.

A well-developed and maintained quality management system has a positive contribution to achieving business goals, improving:

  • customer satisfaction and trust - customer loyalty, repetition and consolidation of work, quick responses to market opportunities
  • overall results and capabilities - better product / service quality, better work efficiency, fewer errors, lower costs, more accurate deliveries, etc.

GLOBALGAP is currently required in most European retail networks.
