In cases where the kitchen does not consistently meet the required food safety standards, it is necessary to have the oversight of a professional inspector following a Ministry of Health inspection.
Consuming food that has been prepared, preserved, or stored in non-hygienic conditions may pose a real health hazard and a danger to public health. The way to ensure safe and suitable food is when food manufacturers and business owners adhere to the rules and regulations set by the Ministry of Health.
So, what is the role of a food safety consultant or a food technologist?
A food safety consultant is the person who guides kitchen staff, both in terms of cleanliness and, primarily, in training and adherence to regulations. They lead the process of obtaining the business license and, beyond that, help maintain food quality, which is reflected in taste. The Ministry of Health supports the implementation of risk management systems to maintain hygiene, appropriate food conditions, and food safety in eateries.
Do you want high-quality food?
Meet the ISO 9001 quality management standard. It provides tools for managing at a high level of quality and enables the management of an organizational quality system in particular.
Additionally, there is HACCP - Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point.
HACCP, Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point, offers several advantages to food businesses:
- Reduction in Foodborne Illness: HACCP helps identify and control potential hazards in food production, reducing the risk of foodborne illnesses. This is critical for public health and safety.
- Enhanced Public Health Protection: By implementing HACCP, businesses can demonstrate a commitment to protecting public health, which can build trust and confidence among consumers.
- Improved Business Reputation: Having a HACCP system in place reflects a commitment to food safety and quality, which can enhance the reputation of the business.
- Compliance with Regulations: Many countries and regions require food businesses to adhere to HACCP principles, so compliance is often mandatory.
- Efficiency and Cost Reduction: HACCP can lead to more efficient processes and reduced waste, ultimately saving costs for businesses.
- Quality Control: HACCP not only addresses safety but also quality, which can lead to higher-quality food products.
- Market Access: Many international markets require HACCP compliance for the import and export of food products, making it essential for businesses operating on a global scale.
In summary, HACCP is a valuable system for ensuring food safety, protecting public health, and promoting a positive business image.
