As a brand-new food safety guarantee model that is completely different from the traditional food safety quality management system, the implementation of HACCP certification has broad and far-reaching significance for ensuring food safety. Below, we will explore the significance of implementing HACCP from the perspectives of food companies, consumers, and the government .
1. HACCP certification for food industry enterprises
1. HACCP certification enhances the confidence of consumers and governments Eating unclean food will have a heavy impact on consumers' confidence in consumption, and the occurrence of food accidents will also shake the government's confidence in corporate food safety, thereby strengthening supervision of companies.
2. HACCP certification reduces legal and insurance expenses If consumers become sick from eating food, they may complain to the company or sue it in court, which will not only affect consumer confidence but also increase the company's legal and insurance expenses.
3. HACCP certification increases market opportunities Good product quality will continuously enhance consumer confidence. Especially in the government's continuous spot checks, companies that always maintain good performance will be favored by consumers and form good market opportunities.
4. HACCP certification reduces production costs (Reduce recycling/food waste) Substandard products shorten the shelf life of enterprise products, cause enterprises to frequently recall their products, and increase production costs. For example, after 300 meat and poultry production plants in the United States implemented the HACCP certification system, the salmonella in beef was reduced by 40 %, in pork by 25 %, and in chicken by 50 %. The economic benefits brought are self-evident.
5. HACCP certification improves the consistency of product quality. The implementation of HACCP certification makes the production process more standardized, which not only improves product safety, but also greatly improves the uniformity of product quality.
6. HACCP certification improves employee participation in food safety The implementation of HACCP certification makes production operations more standardized and promotes employees' full participation in improving the safety of the company's products .
7. HACCP certification reduces business risks The fact that the Staphylococcus aureus poisoning incident at Japan's Snow Brand caused the global milk giant to fall into devastation fully demonstrates that food safety is the guarantee of survival for food production companies.
2. HACCP certification for consumers
1. HACCP certification reduces the risk of foodborne diseases Good food quality can significantly improve the level of food safety and better protect public health.
2. HACCP certification enhances hygiene awareness The implementation and promotion of HACCP certification can improve the public's understanding of the food safety system and enhance their awareness of self-hygiene and self-protection .
3. HACCP certification enhances confidence in food supply The implementation of HACCP certification enables the public to better understand the food safety system established by food companies and to have greater confidence in the food supply and security of society.
4. HACCP certification improves the quality of life (health and socio-economic ) Good public health is of great significance to improving the quality of life of the general public and promoting the healthy development of social economy.
3. HACCP certification for the government
1. HACCP certification improves public health The implementation of HACCP certification will enable the government to play a more positive role in enhancing and improving public health.
2. HACCP certification is a more effective and purposeful food monitoring. The implementation of HACCP certification will change the traditional way of food supervision, and change the government from passive market sampling to active participation in the establishment of corporate food safety systems, and promote companies to implement safety control more actively. It will also shift the government's supervision of food safety from the market to the enterprise.
3. HACCP certification reduces public health expenditure Good public health will reduce government spending on public health, allowing funds to flow to areas where they are more needed.
4. HACCP certification ensures smooth trade Non-tariff barriers have become an important means in international trade. In order to ensure the smooth flow of trade, we must learn and master the mandatory management standards that have been implemented by other countries in the world, and apply them flexibly to reduce their barriers to international trade.
5. HACCP certification increases public confidence in food supply Government involvement will further enhance public confidence in food supply and strengthen the competitiveness of domestic enterprises. |
