Healthy slice of consumer protection

For organizations involved in the manufacturing of food for human consumption, systematic hygiene management, in connection with a working HACCP concept, stands for applied food safety – and with it, pro-active consumer protection. In addition to the legal basics, a variety of standards is available, both international and sector-related, which organizations may use to provide focus to their efforts. While legal provisions naturally concentrate on the safety of the product itself, standards require a comprehensive management system for food safety.
