WHAT IS FOOD SAFETY CULTURE A food safety culture is the values of an organization with regard to food safety. https://www.gov.mb.ca/agriculture/food safety/at the foodprocessor/food safety culture.html An organization with a strong food safety culture demonstrates to its employees and customers that making safe food is an important commitment Food Safety is intimately connected to trust. We trust government, industry, legislators and everyone from farm to fork ROI is cost of not dealing with food safety
CONCLUSION HACCP is fundamental for food safety. Evolution of Food Safety from HACCP to current stage is understandable because of global factors. Food safety culture should be ingrained at every level of food chain Retailers get more confident with GFSI benchmarked audits. Food safety is given and should not be related to returns on investments. No manufacturer can be considered as more or less safe. Either they are safe or unsafe..
