Food Safety, Hygiene, Quality and HACCP

With the unfortunate increased occurrences of food-borne illnesses that have swept the globe in recent years, great emphasis has been placed on the safety of food manufacturing. The rising awareness of food safety amongst the consumer has triggered the need for food manufacturing companies to acquire Food Safety Management Certifications; such as HACCP, GMP, ISO 22000 and Halal. Such certifications not only protect the interest and safety of the consumers, BUT also certifies that manufacturers posses an effective management system to identify and rectify any potential problems in their manufacturing process; ensuring a consistent manufacture of quality products in the long-run.
