Our Food:
Safety and quality systems such as the HACCP and ISO 9001:2000 can use a lot of specific standards and guidelines. Some of these standards and guidelines are discussed here.

According International Alliance for Dietary Supplements Association the concept of the RDA seems to be out-dated and could prevent the market responding to nutrition science. Another obstacle to the innovative dietary supplement market is the development of a positive list of the ingredients that can be used in dietary supplements.
www.ourfood.com
IADSA calls for clear guidelines on health claims on vitamin and mineral supplements.
www.ourfood.com
IADSA calls for a guarantee of consumer safety with the establishment of a negative list. Ingredients known to be harmful to health would be placed on this list and their use in dietary supplements prohibited.
www.ourfood.com
Negative lists bear the danger that every compound which is not listed can be seen as an allowed ingredient opening the door to an immense variety of chemicals. We do not need the total liberation of the market. What we need is an increase of food safety achieved by careful observance of existent rules like HACCP, ISO and Guidelines. The latest developments of Sudan I colour in foods confirm positive lists.

HACCP
HACCP: The Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point is a system which identifies, evaluates, and controls hazards which are significant for food safety. It is described in the following papers:
Codex: Recommended International Code of Practice General Principles of Food Hygiene CAC/RCP 1-1969, European food regulations: Council Directive 93/43/EEC on the hygiene of foodstuffs. The General Principles of CAC/RCP 1 (Annex) lay a foundation for ensuring food hygiene and should be used in conjunction with each specific code of hygienic practice and the guidelines on microbiological criteria. The first section of this document sets out the principles of the (HACCP). The second section provides general guidance for the application of the system.

HACCP
The successful application of HACCP requires the full commitment and involvement of management and the work force.
HACCP does not rely on end product testing to ensure that the food is safe. Instead, it builds food safety into the manufacturing process and relies on process controls . The seven Principles of the HACCP System: PRINCIPLE 1 Conduct a hazard analysis. PRINCIPLE 2 Determine the Critical Control Points (CCPs). PRINCIPLE 3 Establish critical limit(s). PRINCIPLE 4 Establish a system to monitor control of the CCP. PRINCIPLE 5 Establish corrective actions. PRINCIPLE 6 Establish procedures for verification to confirm that the HACCP system is working effectively. PRINCIPLE 7 Establish documentation concerning all procedures.

HACCP
Application The application of HACCP principles consists of the following tasks as identified in the Logic Sequence for Application of HACCP. 1. Assemble the HACCP team 2. Describe product 3. Identify intended use 4.Construct flow diagram 5.On-site confirmation of flow diagram 6. List of potential hazards associated with each step, conduct a hazard analysis, and consider any measures to control identified hazards. Hazard analysis should include: Survival or multiplication of microorganisms of concern; production or persistence in foods of toxins and chemicals or physical agents. Existing control measures which can be applied for each hazard.

8. Establish critical limits for each CCP (See Principle 3): Criteria often used include measurements of temperature, time, moisture level, pH, Aw, available chlorine, and sensory parameters such as visual appearance and texture. 9. Establish a monitoring system for each CCP Physical and chemical measurements are often preferred to microbiological testing because they may be done rapidly and can often indicate the microbiological control of the product. 10. Establish corrective actions

HACCP Implementation
Since 1995, all proprietors of food businesses in the EU have been required to carry out a hazard analysis to identify the food safety hazards within their businesses. It has been found that over half of all premises surveyed were not cleaning and disinfecting correctly.

HACCP Implementation
Recommendations The authors of the UK study recommend that all food businesses should be licensed, with the application of HACCP linked to the licensing requirements. The licensing in two stages with a provisional licence being granted to those businesses that have the necessary prerequisites in place. A full licence would be granted when the business had successfully implemented HACCP.

HACCP Implementation
Situation in Australia
The same situation is found in Australia. Change in larger companies has been primarily customer driven (the large supermarket chains) but this has had little impact on smaller operations where the customer is often the end-user. The typical owner/manager has yet to be convinced that HACCP is either practical or effective in the context of his business.

19
HACCP Implementation
Small food businesses face special problems when trying to implement HACCP. This is possibly even more pronounced in catering rather than processing or retail situations.

The Conference on Mycotoxins recommends to implement HACCP principles taking special attention in the control of risks associated with mycotoxin contamination of feed. Other hazards include dioxin, nitrofen, MPA (progesterone) in feed in Netherlands , and BSE prions.

ISO 15161:2001
Guidelines on the application of ISO 9001:2000 for the food and drink industry
ISO 15161:20002 combines ISO 9001:2000 and HACCP. It is a useful model for the business improvement in the food industry. It makes special reference to: - A food safety risk assessment programme - Maintaining emergency procedures and response - Maintaining operational risk control, monitoring and measurement - The continuous improvement of food safety management system. - The effectiveness of corrective and preventative actions

ISO 15161:2001
HACCP ensures the safety. ISO 9001 system ensures the quality.
The application of HACCP within an ISO 9001 quality management system can result in a food system that is more effective than the application of either ISO 9001 or HACCP alone.

27
ISO 15161:2001
ISO 15161:2001 includes sourcing, processing and packaging food and drink products and explains the possibility to link the common interests and the communication between the two systems. It is important to consider, that ISO 15161 is not a HACCP standard and cannot be a reference document at certification, but these guidelines are intended to provide a clear management system supporting HACCP controls for an effective food safety system, under the recognized framework of an ISO 9000 Quality Management System.

Food Safety Management Standard
The idea of harmonizing the relevant national standards on the international level was initiated by the Danish Standards Association (DS). ISO 22000 aims to harmonize all of these standards. ISO 22000 will be international and will define the requirements of a food safety management system covering all organizations in the food chain from farmers to catering, including packaging.
The standard has the following objectives: Comply with the Codex HACCP principles. Harmonize the voluntary international standards Provide an auditable standard that can be used either for internal audits, self-certification or third-party certification The structure is aligned with ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 14001:1996 Provide communication of HACCP concepts internationally.

The ISO 22000 gives definitions on related terms, describes a food management system.
It is a food safety management system. Can be used for verification,validation and updating. There is correspondence between ISO 22000:200x and ISO 9001:2000

In recent times there has been a worldwide proliferation of third party HACCP and Food Safety Standards developed both by national standards organizations and industry groups including the UK's own BRC.
Overview of the standard The BRC/IoP Packaging Standard dates from 17 October 2001 and was developed by The British Retail Consortium and The Institute of Packaging , together retailers, food producers, trade associations and packaging companies. Requirements of the standard The adoption of a formal Hazard Analysis System. A documented Technical Management System The control of factory standards, products, processes and personnel

ISO 9000:2000 and 9004:2000 are guidance standards that are used to interpret ISO 9001:2000.
ISO 22000:200x
BRC/IOP Packaging Standard does not completely separate the food safety issues and the quality issues.
www.ourfood.com Karl Heinz Wilm
37
Detail of the standard ISO 22000:200x appears to be less prescriptive than the BRC/IOP Packaging Standard, in that it does not address in detail the Good Manufacturing Programs (GMPs), (Good Hygiene Programs) or prerequisite programs.
www.ourfood.com
38
BRC/IOP Packaging Standard is intended to be used by food packaging organizations. Food industry organisations who trade solely within the UK may never be required to achieve certification to ISO 22000:200x, but global suppliers will have to get the ISO 22000 certificate.

Demingers Management-Program
Deminger : Seven Deadly Diseases 1. Lack of constancy of purpose to plan product and service that will have a market and keep the company in business, and provide jobs. 2. Emphasis on short-term profits: short-term thinking (just the opposite of constancy of purpose to stay in business), fed by fear of unfriendly takeover, and by push from bankers and owners for dividends. 3. Personal review systems, or evaluation of performance, merit rating, annual review, or annual appraisal, by whatever name, for people in management, the effects of which are devastating. 4. Mobility of management; job hopping. 5. Use of visible figures only for management, with little or no consideration of figures that are unknown or unknowable. 6. Excessive medical costs. 7. Excessive costs of liability.

Quality Control
Arman Feigenbaum and Total Quality Control The concept of "Total Quality Control": He claimed that quality requires a "total" effort of management and not simply the inspection department. He defined the costs of quality as having four key components: COST of QUALITY
1. 2. 3. 4.
(Feigenbaum)
Quality planning Costs of inspection Internal failure costs ( scrap and rework ) External failure costs (warranty costs, complaints)
The European Union did not encourage the adoption of total quality management. It created instead, the ISO system.

Kaoru Ishikawa Kaoru Ishikawa later developed the Cause-and-Effect Diagram (also called Fishbone Graph), and the Seven Tools of Quality Control. Ishikawa criticized authors for putting too much emphasis on worker attitudes as a cause of poor quality. Worker attitudes will improve as the systems improve.

International Standards
A good management philosophy is to associate ISO 9001:2000 with complementary systems such as BS 8800 Health and Safety and the ISO 14001:1996 Environmental Management. The 2000 revision is an attempt to harmonise the common quality management of ISO 9000 with those contained in the ISO 14001 (environment) and to some degree, the health and safety requirements of standards such as BS 8800 with the intention to enable an organisation to run one management system that addresses quality, environment as well as health and safety.

Quality control Quality control resides on surveillance of specifications along the whole product line. Types of specifications There are three ways to establish the proper specifications when product requirements are settled: General specifications: Are overall specifications of the product written by the purchaser. Overall performance specifications: Here the purchaser tells the manufacturer what he is looking for. He leaves the design of the product up to the manufacturer. Later complaints are difficult to argue about.
Standard specifications: Standard specification is a list that describes in detail the items or materials that are to be used in the manufacture of the product.
