GLOBAL INITIATIVE ON FOOD SAFETY
Keywords:
food safety, quality, quality systemAbstract
Under modern conditions, requirements to food safety are constantly becoming more demanding. Consumers and state control authorities place more and more strict demands for food products to comply with high standards of quality and safety. Companies that warrant safety of the released products possess enhanced volume of customers’ trust. GFSI unites all leading figures of the world market: retail chains, manufacturers, transport operators and other participants of the chain of supplies to the end customer, as well as food safety specialists and scientists. 20 largest producers (Nestle, Danon, etc.) just like 20 largest commercial networks (Carrefour, Tesco, ICA, Metro Cash&Carry, Migros, Ahold, Wal-Mart, Delhaize) are forming the “core” of the Global initiative on food safety. Compliance of requirements to food safety is achieved by implementation and certification of activities of enterprises and suppliers on various standards which warrant safety of products. One of the acknowledged GFSI certification scenes for food industries is the FSSC 22000 system. The FSSC 22000 scheme was developed in order to assist organizations in establishment and constant improvement of management systems and successful production experiences. FSSC 22000 is the leading international scheme for certification of food safety management systems. In July of 2017, a new version of the FSSC 22000 standard was approved – the version 4.1. Enterprises which have certificates of the previous versions (3.2 or 4.0) of the FSSC 22000 scheme must switch to new requirements within the next compliance audit after its date has been announced. Main features of this system are reviewed in the article.
