internationally recognized standard for a food
safety management system that can be
applied to any organization in the food chain.
• These standards provides guidelines for
organizations to establish their quality and
food safety systems by focusing on
procedures, control, and documentation ,
while conceptualizing that certain
minimum characteristics of a quality
management system could be usefully
standardized, giving mutual benefit to
suppliers and customers, and focusing on
process rather than product/service quality
.

food safety management system which also
covers GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices)

• GMP consists of fundamental principles,

procedures and means needed to design a
suitable environment for the production of
food of acceptable quality.
• It also includes Good agricultural practices
