The role of Quality & Food Safety
Quality & Food Safety are of utmost importance for every company handling food products, as a supplier, manufacturer, warehouse & logistics company or retailer. In fact, they are a licence to operate: Legislators, authorities, associations, consumers and industrial partners expect safe and good quality products, always, everywhere. This includes compliance with all legal requirements, mitigation of food safety risks, application of relevant industry standards (e.g. Good Manufacturing and Good Hygiene Practices), traceability upstream and downstream, as well as meeting all expectations concerning packaging, composition, sensory characteristics, shelf life and usability.
Why does it concern you?
Quality departments are frequently constrained in resources and budget, focussing on the operational aspects of Quality Control, product release and issue management. This situation may limit your ability to build a strong Culture of Quality, design the most appropriate organisation, build high performing teams, implement advanced quality tools as well as measures to drive and improve performance, and prepare the organisation to proactively anticipate risk and effectively manage crisis situations.
