Food safety monitoring is one of the major concerns of public health in that it ensures the food consumed is safe, wholesome, and free of any toxic contaminants. A proper monitoring mechanism averts the chances of foodborne diseases, provides assurance about regulatory compliance, and builds trust in consumers. Advanced technologies and tools are required to ensure efficient and accurate food safety monitoring in the context of ever-complexifying global food chains.
The article discusses some of the key elements contributing to food safety monitoring and emphasizes how SGS Digicomply plays a very important role in scaling these efforts through some innovative solutions and wide compliance support.
Food safety monitoring is a systematic approach toward the identification, assessment, and management of risks associated with food production and distribution. The program is focused on the safety of food through the continuity of incidents and trends tracking for compliance with regulations to prevent foodborne illnesses and to ensure consumer safety.
Food safety monitoring is the observation of conditions in real-time that can impact food safety, including contamination incidents, recall notifications, and breaches of compliance. It defines all activities aimed at maintaining food safety from farm to fork.
Proactive monitoring and control of food safety risk factors is based on the principles of continuous assessment and treatment of any potential risks before they become critical. It is an important implementation that aids in realizing a number of considerable advantages connected with food safety monitoring:
Only the structured step-by-step plan will efficiently manage food safety monitoring in the light of all the emerging risks, ensuring that associated risk factors remain under control to protect public health and comply with food safety regulations.
