Full textEste estudo teve como objetivo caracterizar e avaliar as condições higio-sanitárias dos quiosques da cidade de Lisboa e criar um modelo de sistema de garantia de segurança dos alimentos simplificado e adaptado às especificidades destes estabelecimentos. Através da aplicação de uma lista de verificação, concebida com base na legislação aplicável ao setor alimentar e no Codex Alimentarius, conclui-se que as condições infraestruturais dos quiosques são estáticas, recaindo a principal atuação sobre as atitudes e comportamentos dos colaboradores. Devem ser transmitidos conhecimentos de higiene e segurança dos alimentos, por forma a produzir e comercializar alimentos seguros. Verificou-se que, na sua maioria, os quiosques não apresentavam um sistema de gestão da segurança dos alimentos efetivamente implementado, averiguando-se que muitos tinham subcontratados serviços de consultoria nesta temática, no entanto a escassez de auditorias e o desconhecimento desta obrigatoriedade por parte dos responsáveis pelos quiosques, levava a que estes sistemas não alcançassem o seu principal objetivo. Torna-se necessária, ainda, a adequação do sistema proposto à realidade de cada quiosque, e o seu acompanhamento por técnicos especializados junto de todos os colaboradores destes estabelecimentos.
ABSTRACT - The objective of this study was to characterize and evaluate the sanitary conditions of the kiosks of the city of Lisbon and to create a simplified self-control system model adapted to the specifics characteristics of these establishments. By applying a checklist designed on the basis of food law and Codex Alimentarius, it is concluded that the infrastructural conditions of the kiosks are static, with the main focus on the attitudes and behaviors of the employees. Knowledge on food hygiene and safety should be transmitted in order to prepare and retail safe food. It has been verified that, for the most part, kiosks did not present an effectively implemented food safety management system, that and many had outsourced consulting services in this area. However, the lack of audits and the insufficiency of knowledge by those responsible by kiosks, meant that these systems did not reach their main objective. It is also necessary to adapt the proposed system to the reality of each kiosk, and its surveillance of all employees of these establishments by specialized technicians.

Full textO efeito conjugado das imposições da grande distribuição e dos consumidores cada vez mais exigentes levou a que muitos operadores do sector hortofrutícola considerassem a certificação dos seus produtos e/ou sistemas de produção por referenciais específicos. O Global Standard for Food Safety é um referencial desenvolvido pelo British Retail Consortium, com o objectivo de especificar os critérios de qualidade, segurança e operacionais requeridos para assegurar o cumprimento de todas as exigências legais e garantir a segurança do consumidor. O presente trabalho surgiu da necessidade de uma empresa dedicada ao embalamento e distribuição de frutos em atender àquelas exigências e obter a certificação pelo GSFS. Pretendeu-se assim dar cumprimento aos requisitos do citado referencial, desenvolver e implementar o Sistema de Gestão da Qualidade e Segurança Alimentar da empresa e definir as linhas de guia para a sua implementação e manutenção. Inicialmente, foi realizada uma auditoria de diagnóstico da situação existente. A análise dos seus resultados sustentou o planeamento e estruturação do sistema de gestão e elaboração da documentação associada, sendo esta a etapa mais complexa e exigente. Por último, foi definido de um plano de acções a realizar pela empresa para implementação do referido sistema. Devido à complexidade da montagem de um sistema desta natureza, apesar deste ter sido devidamente estruturado e de ter sido elaborada toda a base documental em que ele assenta, a sua cabal implementação não ocorreu no tempo que lhe foi atribuído. Ainda assim, foram definidos todos os procedimentos e sistemas que darão cumprimento aos requisitos definidos pela norma e criado um sistema documental que servirá de guia para a sua aplicação futura.
ABSTRACT - FOOD SAFETY AND QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION ACORDING TO THE GLOBAL STANDARD FOR FOOD SAFETY, IN A FRUIT PACKAGING AND DISTRIBUTION COMPANY - The joined effect of massive distribution conditionings and of the more and more demanding consumers took many horticultural operators to consider the certification of their products and/or production systems in accordance with specific references. The Global Standard for Food Safety (GSFS) is a reference developed by the British Retail Consortium aiming at establishing quality, safety and operational criteria required to guarantee the accomplishment of all legal demands and to ensure the consumer safety. The present research arises from the need of a company, working on packaging and distribution of fruit, to respond to those demands and to obtain the certification by the GSFS. It was intended to achieve the requirements of the mentioned reference, to develop and to implement the Food Safety and Quality Management System of the company and to define the guidelines for its implementation and maintenance. In the first place, an audit was realized to diagnose the current circumstances. The analysis of the corresponding results sustained the planning and the structuring of the management system and the production of connected documents. Subsequently, an action plan was defined for the implementation of the mentioned system by the company. Although this system had been structured and all documental support produced, its implementation was not achieved in the predicted time. Nevertheless, all procedures and the methodology that will comply with the defined requirements were established and documents to guide the future implementation were produced.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: Not only have non-trade barriers been applied in Europe and the US to agricultural products from developing countries, but protective policy is also likely to continue. Owing to the omission of fish from the discussions in the final round of agreement at Uruguay, where tariffs were significantly reduced for other agricultural products, the fish industry has not had any non tarriff barier relief in recent years. The failure of the November 1999 World Trade Organisation Meeting at Seattle to reach any agreement, has again shattered hopes of international relief for fishery products. The main assumption underlying the study was that the production of fish in Tanzania could improve significantly if the HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points) principles were applied rigorously. It was believed that neither the prerequisite programmes, nor HACCP principles were probably applied as stringently as international standards require. The aim of the study was to review the literature on HACCP, programmes that are prerequisite for HACCP and factors that_ determine competitiveness in business and to examine the Tanzanian Nile perch industry against this background. The overall goal was to determine how the industry could become more internationally competitive. This was achieved by comparing the socio-economic reality of Tanzania with factors that are considered in the literature to affect competitiveness in general and in the fish industry specifically. To achieve the first of these aims, Tanzania's socioeconomic position as a developing country was examined. To achieve the latter, the commitment of fish processing factories to the application of HACCP principles and their compliance with prerequisite programmes were evaluated in a field study. The literature study confirms that HACCP has received international recognition in the fish industry as a factor to prevent hazards and gain competitiveness in the global fish market. However, conditions in Tanzania were shown to be insufficient to support the fisheries sector in attempting to gain such a competitive advantage. Although, Tanzania has the comparative advantage of a fishery resource base, a favourable trade policy and foreign technology and management, the macro-factors that include the infrastructure, human resource capital, foreign policy environment and the supporting industries are not supportive. For the time being, therefore, improvement can only come from the government and from the industry itself. There are several factors to which the government needs to pay attention in order to support this industry - and others - in achieving international success. These include the provision of infrastructure and facilities, the improvement of the transportation network, technological capabilities, human resource capital and the provision of safe water and electric power. However, the fish industry cannot rely on the government alone. The improvement of their product is also dependent on their own efforts. According to the findings of this study, the industry needs to comply with the basic sanitation factors and provide the necessary training to the employees and fish suppliers. Having examined the situation more closely, the assumption is proved to be correct. The fish industry in Tanzania does indeed appear to have the potential to become internationally competitive. Such success, however, will be heavily dependent on cooperation between the government and the industry
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Handelsbeperkinge op landbouproduckte vanaf ontwinkkelende in Europa en die Verenigde State toegepas. Daarbenewens sal beskermende beleidsriglyne waarskynlik in stand gehou word. Bespreking van sake met betrekking to vissery is nie by die finale rondte van ooreenstemming te Uruquay, waar tariewe vir ander landbouproduckte betekenisvol verlaag is, ingesluit nie, en daardeur is daar gedurende die laaste aantal jare geen belastingverligting vir die visindustrie gebied nie. By die World Trase Organisation se vergadering om internasionale verligting vir visproducte te verkry, weereens beskaam. Die hoofveronderstelling wat hierdie studie ondersteun, is dat visproduksie III Tanzanie betekenisvol verbeter kan word indien die can HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points) streng toegepas word. Dit is veronderstel dat nóg die voorvereiste programme, nóg die HACCP-beginsels wat ten opsigte van internasionale standaarde vereis word, streng volgens voorskriftoegepas word. Die doel van die studie was om 'n oorsig van die literatuur oor HACCP, programme wat as HACCP-voorvereistes geld en faktore wat mededingendheid in die besigheidswereld bepaal, te verkry en om die Tanzaniese Nyl-baarsbedryf teen hierdie agterground te ondersoek. Die oorkoepelende doel was om vas te stel hoe die bedryf internasionaal meer mededingend kan word. Dit is gedoen deur middel van vergelyking tussen die sosio-ekonomiese werklikheid van Tanzanië en die faktore wat mededingendheid in die algemeen, volgens die literatuur, en die visbedryf in besonder, affekteer. Om die eeste van hiedie doelstellings te bereik, is die sosio-ekonomies posisie van Tanzanie as 'n ontwikkelende land ondersoek Om die tweede te bereik, is 'n veldstudie uitgevoer om die mate waartoe fabrieke wat vis verwerk daarop ingestel is om HACCP-beginsels toe te pas en hul gewilligheid om die programme wat as voorvereistes dien, na te kom, te evalueer. Die literatuurstudie het bevestig dat HACCP internasionale erkenning geniet as 'n faktor om risikO in de visbedryf uit te skakel en mededingendheid op die wereldmark vir vis te verwerf. Daar is egter bewys dat toetstande in Tanzanie ontoereikend is om die visserysektor in die verwewing van'n mededingende voorsprong te ondersteun. Alhoewel Tanzanië oor die relatiewe voordele van vissery as 'n hulpbron, gunstige handelsbeleid en buitelandse tegnologie en bestuur bestik, bied die makrofaktore soos infrastruktuur, kapitaal III die vorm van menslike hulpbronne, die buitelandse beleidsomgewing en die ondersteunende bedrywe nie genoeg ondersteuning nie. Vir die hede, kan ontwikkeling dus slegs deur die regering en die bedryf self bewekstelling word. Daar is verskeie faktore waaraan die regering aandag moet skenk om hierdie bedryf-en ander bedrywe-in die verkryging van internasionale sukses te ondersteun. Sulke faktore omvat die daarstelling van infrastruktuur en fasiliteite, die verbetering van die vervoernetwerk, tegnologiese vermoens en menslike hulpbronkapitaal, en voorsiening van onbesmette water en elektriese krag. Die visbedryf kan egter nie net op die regering steun nie. Die verbetering van die product is van die bedryf self afhanklik. Die bevindings van hierdie studie dui daarop dat die bedryf die basiese faktore betreffende sanitêre beginsels moet onderhoue en die vereiste opleiding aan diensnemers moet verskaf. By die nadere ondersoek van die situasie is die oorspronklike veronderstelling korrek bewys. Die visbedryf in Tanzanië beskik oor die potensiaal om internasionaal medengend te word. Sodanige sukses sal egter uiters afhanklik wees van samewerking tussen die regering en die bedryf.

Full textThe aim of this study was to evaluate Safety Management Systems of minimally processed vegetable industries (VMP) of Rio Grande do Sul, evaluate the inactivation of Salmonella Enteritidis (SE86) in lettuces exposed to different washing methods and disinfection observed in the investigated industries and, finally, prepare a draft technical regulation for Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) for the sector. Five industries were visited to investigate the contextual factors and the implemented food safety systems. Then, the cleaning and disinfecting methods observed in each industry were performedin laboratory, by inoculating S. enteritidis SE86 on lettuces and subjecting to them. Based on these assessments and other technical documents, it was drawn up a proposed for legislation to VMP industries. The results showed that the industries were operating in a high risk environment, without the necessary control to reduce the risk. It has demonstrated the need for improvements in relation to suppliers of controls, facilities, hygienic equipment design, maintenance programs and calibration equipment, hygiene programs, records, employee training, as well as in carrying out microbiological analyzes of the final product. No company demonstrated full implementation of GMP, Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) or the implementation of Hazard Analysis System and Critical Control Points (HACCP). The laboratory results indicated that the washing and disinfection procedures performed in industries can significantly reduce S. Enteritidis SE86 counts, however, at the industrial level, the concentration of sanitizing, pH, concentration of organic matter and water temperature were not It is controlled, suggesting a high risk. In view of the results, recommendations were made in the proposed GMP and SOP legislation, which were added to DRC 275/2002 (ANVISA) applicable to Brazilian food industries. The inclusion of two SOP has been suggested, the first relating to the selection of suppliers of raw materials (fruits and vegetables) and the second with respect to the washing and disinfection process. In addition, the body of the proposal, it was suggested the addition of monitoring and checking temperatures of cold rooms, adequate and continuous training of personnel on hygiene and food handling and risks associated with production and consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables. It also suggested to proven capable mandatory technical manager to guide and monitor the implementation and continuity of Food Safety Management Systems. The recommendations were divided into short, medium and long term. Short term was the implementation of process controls, especially in the washing and disinfection steps and microbiological analyzes of the final product. Medium-term was the selection of suppliers with Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) implemented, as well as the full implementation of GMP in the VMP industries. Finally, the measure to be implemented in the long term was the implementation of HACCP. The Proposal for a Regulation specific to VMP can be discussed with the regulated sector, to then be sent for public consultation and possible publication by the State Sanitary Surveillance. These actions are proposed in order to improve the safety of VMP and develop the sector.

O presente trabalho visa a melhoria contínua do sistema de gestão de segurança dos alimentos de uma unidade de processamento de carnes. Pretende com o compromisso, preocupação e responsabilidade que a própria organização assume, demonstrar a sua capacidade para minimizar e até mesmo eliminar todos os potenciais perigos identificados nas diferentes etapas de processamento e simultaneamente fornecer padrões de excelência enquanto procura conhecer as expetativas dos consumidores atuais para conquista da sua confiança e garantia da conformidade dos produtos de acordo com os princípios regulamentares em vigor. A empresa encontra-se certificada pela Norma ISO 22000:2005, pelo que foi necessário a atualização e preparação do sistema de gestão de segurança dos alimentos no sentido de migrar para o referencial FSSC 22000 (versão 4.1 de julho de 2017, em vigor desde janeiro de 2018). Com esse intuito, avaliou-se através de listas de verificação se a totalidade dos requisitos exigidos pelo referencial em questão estava implementada e, face aos resultados, elaboraram-se, posteriormente, propostas de melhoria e planeou-se as medidas mais adequadas aos requisitos em falta. Revelou-se necessária a criação de planos de defesa dos alimentos e prevenção de fraude alimentar, assim como uma melhoria da gestão de alergénios por parte do estabelecimento, com avaliação de potenciais contaminações cruzadas. Entre outras sugestões de melhoria, fazem-se propostas de validação e verificação da implementação de procedimentos de controlo associados ao programa de higienização para minimização de contaminações cruzadas.
ABSTRACT - Update of a food safety management system and its migration from ISO 22000 to FSSC 22000 in a meat processing plant - Over the years, there has been a growing concern about food safety, supported by the creation of legislation and standards in the area. The present work aims to continuously improve the food safety management system of a meat processing unit. It’s intended for the organization’s own commitment, concern and responsibility to demonstrate its ability to minimize and even eliminate all potential hazards identified at different processing stages while simultaneously providing standards of excellence whilst seeking to meet the expectations of today’s consumers to earn their trust and ensure products compliance in accordance with current regulatory principles. The company is certified by ISO 22000:2005, so it was necessary to update and prepare the food safety management system in order to migrate to the FSSC 22000 (version 4.1 of july 2017, effective since january 2018). To this end, it was assessed through checklists that all the requirements required by the benchmark were implemented and, in the light of the results, further improvement proposals were developed and the most appropriate measures were planned for the missing requirements. The establishment of food defense and food fraud prevention plans, as well as an improvement of the allergen management by the establishment, with the assessment of potential cross-contamination, has proved necessary. Other suggestions for improvement include validation proposals and verification of the control procedures’ implementation and verification of the implementation of control procedures associated with the sanitation program to minimize cross contamination.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: Fish and shellfish are, with very few exceptions, generally considered safe. Food safety laws in many parts of the world are, however, requiring companies to implement programs such as Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) as a means of assuring food safety from harvest to consumption. In South Africa, fishing companies wishing to export products to countries such as the European Union (EU), the United Sates (US), et cetera have, over the past number of years, been required to implement HACCP. Various issues are, however at stake with regards to the successful implementation of HACCP and thus this study project is primarily focused on the application of the HACCP system to the white fish industry. The method of study involved consultation with various local authorities in order to highlight existing HACCP problems within the South African White Fish Industry. A literature survey was conducted to ascertain the requirements of various countries and international organisations and iii addition to gain an in-depth knowledge as to theworking requirements of HACCP. Prior to setting in place a HACCP system, the model reviews in detail the HACCP manual requirements and prerequisite programs required. The prerequisite programs are not limited to but include good manufacturing practices, operation and sanitation, pest control, traceability and recall procedures, customer complaint procedures, chemical control program and training. Process flow diagrams need to be developed and verified for each process and product. Once completed an analysis of the various biological, chemical and physical hazards that are likely to affect the safety of the product is conducted. The seven principles of HACCP are clarified together with how they may best be implemented and monitored, taking in to consideration the various parameters of each fish processing establishment. A brief introduction about the relationship between the HACCP system, ISO 9000 and total quality management (TOM) and the advantages and disadvantages of each system is included. The study project is completed with recommendations for further study in other food processing industries. Recommendations include, but are not limited to ensuring that current and new legislation be regularly monitored, HACCP models be developed for industries such as the shellfish industry, et cetera and that, where possible, harmonisation of the requirements be internationally agreed upon.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Oor die algemeen word vis en skulpvis, met 'n paar uitsonderings, as veilig beskou. Internasionaal word daar deur die voedsel veiligheidswette vereis dat maatskappye aan 'n standaard naamlik HACCP ( Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) voldoen wat verseker dat die voedsel vanaf sy oorspronklike bron tot en met by die verbruiker veilig is vir gebruik. In Suid Afrika, word oor die laaste aantal jare van alle vismaatskappye wat vis wil uitvoer na Europeuse lande of die Verenigde state, verwag om HACCP te implimenteer. Verskeie kwessies is op die spel met betrekking tot die suksesvolle implimentering van HACCP en daarom word hierdie projek gefokus op die suksesvolle implimenteering van die HACCP beginsel in die witvis bedryf. Vir die studie is plaaslike owerhede genader om vas te stel waar bestaande probleme met betrekking tot die witvis bedryf is. 'n Literatuur studie is uitgevoer om te bepaal wat die behoeftes is van verskillende lande en internationale instansies en ook om 'n indiepte kennis te bekom vir die funksionerings vereistes van HACCP. Die model beskryf volledig wat vereis word om 'n HACCP handleiding saam te stel en die voorvereiste programme wat benodig word alvorens 'n HACCP plan inwerking gestel kan word. Daar is geen beperkings ten opsigte van die voorvereiste programme nie maar dit sluit die volgende in: goeie vervaardigings praktyke, higiëne bestuur, plaagbeheer, identifiseering en produk ontrekking prosedure, verbruikersklagtes, chemikalië beheer en opleiding. Vir elke proses en produk moet daar 'n vloei diagram opgestel word. Daarna moet 'n ontleding gedoen word van alle moontlike biologiese, chemiese en fisiese gevare wat die veiligheid van 'n produk kan benadeel. Verder bespreek die studie die sewe beginsels van HACCP, die implimentering en monitering daarvan met inagneming van die uniekheid van elke prosesaanleg. 'n Kort oorsig oor die verwantskap tussen HACCP, ISO 9000 en "TQM ( Total Quality Management)" met elk se voor en nadele word ook bespreek. Die studie word afgesluit met aanbevellings vir verdere studies in die voedselprosesseringsindustrie, oor die monitering van huidige en toekomstige wetgewing, die ontwikkeling van HACCP modelle en harmonisering van internasionale en plaaslike vereistes soos ooreengekom.

Full textA proposed methodology was developed for the implementation of a Food safety management system based on ISO 22000:2005 (NBR ISO 22000:2006). This methodology includes: A) Map of all necessary documents; B) Forms for the HACCP system planning, based on ISO 22000 plus related instruction on how to use these forms, including the preliminary steps and the 7 Principles established by Codex Alimentarius; C) Documents for ISO 22000 system verification: Checklist for system assessment, considering adequacy and implementation and a Map of communication activities. This methodology was applied to one organization of medium size, focusing on one of its product lines. This organization was identified as EXAMPLE Organization. Necessary trainings and consultancy were offered by the author, considering the knowledge level of the food safety team. After implementation was complemented by the EXAMPLE Organization, according to the organization, an assessment was performed by a team composed of 3 auditors, two of them at the ISO 22000 lead auditor level. The main objective of this audit was to evaluate the adequacy of the proposed methodology. The conclusion was that the methodology is effective and adequate to the requirements of the ISO 22000 standard. The main documentation developed was also shown as the result of the implementation. The methodology and forms developed may help organizations to reduce the time involved in the implementation of the ISO 22000 system, even though adjustments to their circumstances shall be made. The necessary adjustments shall consider the kind of the product and the related statutory and regulatory requirements.

Full textEste trabalho teve como objetivo a verificação/validação das metodologias preventivas que pretendem controlar potenciais perigos que podem afetar a qualidade e segurança de produtos cárneos de aves. Foram verificados e validados: a) um pré-requisito relacionado com a higienização de superfícies de contacto na sala de desmancha de frango ao longo de um dia de trabalho; b) um programa de pré-requisito operacional relacionado com a temperatura de refrigeração e de congelação do camião frigorífico de transporte, e c) dois pontos de controlo críticos relacionados com a eficácia do binómio tempo/temperatura utilizados na cozedura e no arrefecimento de fiambre. Nas validações foram utilizados métodos microbiológicos e metrológicos cujos resultados foram tratados estatisticamente. Para o estudo referente à evolução microbiológica das superfícies de desmancha de frango, concluiu-se que uma higienização intermédia não se justifica, uma vez que a curva de multiplicação dos indicadores microbiológicos avaliados, tem um crescimento rápido e os meios despendidos para tal ação não compensariam. No processo térmico de cozedura e arrefecimento de fiambres, validou-se o binómio tempo/temperatura atingido no processo de cozedura e de arrefecimento rápIdo em do produto após a cozedura em câmara de refrigeração. A avaliação da temperatura final do produto transportado ao cliente, permitiu concluir que mantendo uma boa gestão de temperatura combinada com o tempo se garante a sua conformidade.
ABSTRACT - Review of the food safety management system applied to a poultry meat processing company: verification and validation of operational prerequisites and critical control points. - The aim of this work was to verify and validate methods intended to control potential hazards that may affect quality and safety of a poultry product. It has been verified and validated: a prerequisite regarding the microbial evolution on surfaces of a deboning process; an opera-tional prerequisite, applied to the admissible temperature deviation in a isotermic tank truck without affecting the products final temperature upon arrival at customer premises; and at last critical control points used to verify the effectiveness of the binomial time/temperature used at cooking and cooling phases of poultry cooked ham. Microbiological and metrological methods have been used for validation and the results were statistically treated. Concerning the microbiological evolution of the deboning surfaces during a working day, it was conclud-ed that an intermediate sanification it is not justified, since the microbiological curve has a fast growth, and the means for such action are expensive. The validation of the cooking and cooling process for time/temperature binomial was done and cooling of product after the cooking in cooling chamber. The permissible temperature deviations for the internal temperature of the transport truck, without influencing the final temperature of the product transported to the customer, depends of a good management of time to attain the temperature compliance.

Full textThe steady growth of the fruit juices sector is a significant factor strengthening the Brazilian economy; the richness of the tropical fruits, the quality of juices they are processed into and the luring presentation to consumers expanded the internal market and helped conquer demanding markets abroad. All this happened as a result of meeting stringent and assorted requirements, since food fruit juices included quality and safety are a must today. The purpose of this paper is to present a proposal to integrate management systems involving quality, good manufacturing practices and related legal requirements, as well as HACCP, in a small fruit juices company in the State of São Paulo. The proposal includes integrated cost-effective actions to implement the various standards. The research carried out concludes that the integration of management systems involving quality, good manufacturing practices and related legal requirements, as well as HACCP, is feasible. A relationship matrix of the respective requirements was designed during the research, which allowed conducting an initial joint and revealing assessment to evaluate the degree of fulfillment of those requirements. Bearing in mind the company´s scenario where the research was performed and the first application of this Integrated Management System took place, the proposal was not totally implemented. The necessity was perceived to test the Integrated Management System and monitor its operation in other food sector companies, thus not only evaluating the consistency of the proposal but also its flexibility to meet local specific requirements and detect improvement opportunities.

With the joint efforts of government policies and civilians, the tourism industry has become an important part of the economic development of the country and the localities. Taiwanese people in the choice of many considerations tourism, the taste of local products, specialties have always been a very important incentive. Taiwan is surrounded by the sea and fishing industry is one of the most important economic resources. It is not only an important industry in agriculture but also a thriving industry in food storage, processing, transportation and sales. Taiwan enjoys the reputation of "gourmet kingdom". In particular, catches of rich cuisines are the main reason for attracting pilgrimages to domestic and overseas tourists. However, due to its geographical location in the subtropical region, many foods are easily contaminated by pathogenic bacteria and spoilage bacteria , and the occurrence of production, delivery and preservation issues, so food poisoning incidents have heard of. Based on the domestic and international food safety and health related norms, this paper explores how to enter the food safety control system in Taiwan's aquatic products processing industry to ensure that aquatic products in Taiwan are well protected in terms of safety, hygiene and quality, Foreigners in all kinds of travel on the road, can eat peace of mind, eat health, eat healthy.

BSTRACT In recent years, due to the frequent occurrence of food safety issues, such as poison products and mad cow meats events, cited a serious impact to people's health and caused widespread concern around the world. In order to ensure that consumers can have the food hygiene and safety, how to secure foods and effective follow-up retrospective, food security management system is an extremely urgent issue. We proposed an idea to use RFID (radio frequency identification) technology, which has the characteristics of data loading identification and traceability, to intercept, warning, as amended, or the collection of information of food to make up for the lack of information. The automatic identification of the function of error, RFID properties in the application of food safety management applications have a very good result, through the appropriate back-end information support system on the food safety management [28].

Present consumer's attention safe to the food, demand for spontaneity no matter inside enterprises of the person who makes relevant food industry or coming from customer's purchasing the request for the policy, regard obtaining relevant food authentication as one of its key working projects one after another . This measure can not merely ensure people's health, the hygiene that guarantee food's security, the food security hygiene administrative system which the manufacturer carried out actively is also the international generally acknowledged trend of food industry. To food industry, the security of the food is essential, the security of the food is in charge of accusing of like in order to examine for it alone, really exist a lot of instruments and errors of sampling artificially, how to use the whole, preventative management tool, potential and foreseeable danger will be defended and stopped up except supplying the chain, it will be that the relevant manufacturer of food need most urgently. The FGMP certification system in 2006 is popularized in the effect index investigation, there is interviewing in the manufacturer and calling upon FGMP , HACCP and ISO 22000 to adopt the measure recognized each other of 86.7%; If FGMP , HACCP and ISO 22000 can cooperate and adopt admitting , can be got to cover the number of times , certificate checked to can reduce the products again together each other , but some rule fee, expenses of relevant authentication should be paid , the manufacturer would like to apply , the proportion accounted for is 78.2%. Shown by these data, the manufacturer property quite expects systematic merger of three verification system, in order to reduce the heavy and complicated procedure. Is it manage to FGMP , HACCP and ISO 22000 system combination document that further investigate in an all-round way issue to have yet at present, probe into through other relevant document analysis and relevant interconnected system of operation procedure to learn clause whole and file or arrangement of form can know the problem with expert interview Key point. If there is scheme of a kind of feasibility that can be used in the whole food industry, or popularize the unit and to the government , can yet be regarded as a policy of convenience, so this research purport lies in probing into the merger feasibility of FGMP , HACCP and ISO 22000 food security with mutual administrative system. Consider that three verification system to combination of FGMP , HACCP and ISO 22000 , this research knows from documents first that can be put from analysis of the clause and procedure in order and set about , the unit concerned can offer reference while promoting and combining in the future. In verifying the arrangement of the content , is it mark chapter FGMP, HACCP and ISO 22000 according to qualification, procedure, expenses, authentication to follow respectively etc. to discuss, and propose that the schemes of three pieces of feasibility offer reference and do interview with relevant experts and scholars, the analysis result proposes with the short-term benefit that associated documents or the form are combined, use these files or forms to apply for FGMP, HACCP or ISO 22000 at the same time , for manufacturer, needn't waste suitable manpower and material resources in preparing these systems of verification .

The potential applications of ICT technology to cool-chain monitoring and management were investigated in this study. “Braised pork” and “Four-spirits soup” taken from the menu of an oriental-style franchised chain store were used and the cool-chain covered starting from processing, storage, sorting, delivery, unloading, retail storage, and to the final reheating step. Critical parameters including temperature, illumination, electrical current, GPS integrated with WSN technology were adopted, as well as surrogated bacteria challenging studies were used to verified the shelf-life and safety of the tested products. Critical control limits were set at cumulative time over 30 min over 7℃ for cool-chain and product centre temperature over 75℃ for final re-heating operation, respectively, and monitoring system will signal alarms when deviation occurred. Continuous monitoring electrical power consumption verified, when compared with frozen products, the refrigerated tested products could increase energy efficiency by 212%. Finally, the challenging tests suggested that the “braised pork” was safe at below 28, 14, and 2 days at 4, 9, and 30℃ storage, respectively. While for “Four-spirits soup”, it was safe below 5, 4, and half days at the same storage temperature conditions, respectively. This system realizes the possibility of temperature traceability. The key technology is using ZigBee modules which combine all kinds of sensor and temperature logger to monitor each point in cold chain, accomplishing its transparency and providing fool-proof mechanisms. And it also provide food safety risk and shelf life assessment bases through time accumulation of irregular temperature and microbiological challenge test.

ABSTRACT Taiwan, during Min Guo 102 year has accumulated 409 food poisoning cases nationwide. That affected total of 3890 out of the 71 cases. 1903 patients involved in, are related to food hygiene. However 21 out of those 71 cases are related to boxed lunches, which involved 1185 people, the largest number of patients. This article focus on food safety control from boxed lunch factories, especially those delivered to primary and secondary school. Food safety has brought attention to the people in Taiwan and here we will discuss how to secure food safety on boxed lunches and to improves its quality of boxed meals. Back in 1971, the first session of the United States Conference of food preservation, quality control cannot be addressed to ensure the safety of traditional foods, the only hazard that could be potentially controlled were the manufacturing process in order to effectively improve the safety of food, which is called Hazard analysis and critical control points HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) concept, which is to be discussed in the article: Lunch box food factory management. In order to implement this law, it is most suitable to let the boxed meal lunch technologist to manage the factory logistic. Thus, this explains the importance of the boxed meal lunch technologists' existence. In the early Republic of China year 74 during December 20th, the highest level of the executive branch and the Department of Health (DOH) has announced the requirement of food manufacture policy number 7. In policy number 7, it demanded food manufacture factories to have food inspectors on site. This applies to Chinese catering industries, starting from Republic of China year 88 during April 20th, all boxed meal lunches suppliers needs to follow the deployment of the food manufacturing and processing industry, foods storage spaces and facilities and food additives provision of health standards accordingly by the professional chefs who holds the legal license. In addition, during Republic of China year 91, on February 6th, the president has announced all boxed meal suppliers to schools must provide clean, healthy, and balanced nutrition lunches to students. Meanwhile, being responsible to educate and emphasize the image of healthy nutrition. Boxed meal industries require nutritionists to be on site to manage developments. Finally, the government has implemented this policy and was announced by the highest level of the executive branch and the Department of Health (DOH) during Republic of China in the year of 97 on May 8th. "One within all the professional chefs and among other nutritionists must carry legalized food handling license.” This law will take effect on Republic of China time in the year of 101 on May 8th. This law applies to high risk industries including sea foods, meat processing manufacture, boxed meal factories, milk industries. This article has studies 18 boxed meal factories in Chunghwa, Taiwan. The study also included owners of the factories, food sanitation staffs, and professional chefs, licensed nutritionists, food technicians as well as the Executive Secretary of the Board of Directors who were in charge of the boxed meal for 96 schools as the survey target. The content of the survey has concluded the all the school lunch box examinations and inspection card from the Department of Health (DOH), which was specifically designed for future inspection on boxed meal lunches. Food Safety Technician evaluated the performance and meal quality based on the eight critical control points of food safety and quality control from boxed lunches. These evaluation scores are being analyzed before and after results with SAS (Statistical Analysis System) Software. The difference of descriptive statistics including frequency and average values are being analyzed with paired t-tests. From the comparison you can find food safety technician outperformed dietitian’s management, cooking techniques, as well as food hygiene management. By promoting businesses from food industry to implement hazard analysis and critical control points system (HACCP), we shall prevent illegal food business from producing risky food products.

Feed manufacturing industry is a traditional industry. Through the implementation of quality management system will achieve the systematic management and autonomy requirements, even improve the safety and quality of products and build business brand image. In this study, we used the feed manufacturing industry in Taiwan as the research object, to explore importing the influence of quality management system and food safety management systems for corporate image and customer perception. In this study, we found that in the food supply chain, product safety considerations were more important than product quality considerations. Moreover, the recent rise of consumer awareness, once the food safety issues occurs, that will directly impact on the corporate image.

The German sociologist Ulrich Beck suggested that the development of modern technologies contain numerous scientific uncertainties that may bring many new risks to human societies. These risks have a characteristic of “reflexivity”. In the past, modernization was viewed as a revolution of the old society, and is therefore called “simple modernization”. Current human societies are filled with risks. The modern “risk society” is undergoing a form of “reflexive modernization”, its origins is based on the side effects of human industrial and technological developments. Reflexive modernization can be seen as a “self-confrontation ” with the effects of“risk society”. Food is the basic element that human depends on for survival. Food safety not only concerns the safety of human health and lives, it also affects social and national stability and development. The modern world with its advanced technologies is improving upon the environments for the production of foods and beverages. The variety and processing methods of food is unprecedented and increasingly complex. With the globalization of economy and improvements of the food industry, international food trade is rapidly developing. However, these developments also bring more risk to people in terms of food safety. Hence, governments around the world are placing significant importance on relevant risk management measures for food trade and food safety. The American National Research Council (NRC) first recommended a set of Risk Analysis infrastructure in 1980. The Risk Analysis system involved three steps, namely “risk assessment”, “risk management” and “risk communication”. These steps were eventually adapted by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC), the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the European Union (EU), and can be seen as an international standard for food safety management systems. Although governments worldwide have gradually adopted risk analysis systems as a means of managing food safety, differences in management principles still exist. The EU adopted a stricter “precautionary principle”. On the other side of the Atlantic, the US and Canada adopt the “principle of scientific evidence”. Such differences have led to many disputes on foreign trade between the EU and US and Canada. At the same time, the EU also faces the internal challenge of risk communication. When faced with increased risks in food safety brought about by modern technologies, they must find out means to maintain public trust while maintaining the balance between “objective risk” and “expert systems”. These are important topics of food safety management in the EU.

The accuracy of food product shelf life is closely related to consumer''s right and food business''s profit. Short buffer period of product''s shelf life will make food business to take risk to sell such product. Keeping conservative shelf life will cause the food product a short time for sale, and lower food business''s profit. Therefore, the safety management of food product''s shelf life is considered to be very important both to consumer and food business. A predictive model is considered to be able to response timely the quality changes of the food product on shelf under different environment. It will get results much faster and flexible than an analytical method, and can also be adjusted according to different environmental conditions. The objective of this study is to establish a predictive computer simulation model for the food business to determine product shelf life, by using the database of Food MicroModel . A simulation program of quality-evaluation which is concerned with the fluctuation of temperature will be developed with the results of the simulation. Reasonable shelf life will be determined.The result of simulating sausage distribution of the company by considering nonproteolytic Clostridium botulinum growth is safe in sixty days. The same result of milk by considering Listeria monocytogenes infection is safe in eight days. When sausage has a lower pH value 5.6 , it can extend its safe shelf life about nine times. The raise of distribution temperature of boxcar and supermarket will decrease shelf life . In the phenomena of keeping distribution temperature in 7℃would have a worse result than fluctuating temperature in real distribution . -1 -aA Study On the Safety Management of Product Shelf Life in the Chilled Food Distribution System

Food is a foundation for national policy and it is an essential need for everyone, therefore it is very important for public health. The advances in food manufacturing and processing technology improve food availability. Nevertheless, the world is surrounding food security challenges. In order to cut expenses, food manufacturers often abandon food safety regulation and compromise low cost or illegal food ingredients when food prices rise. This is has become a major crisis for public health. There is a series of incidents which affect food safety in Taiwan, among them, adulteration of cooking oil with recycled waste oil and animal feed oil was the worst and unimaginable. Therefore, the purpose for this study was to investigate the cooking oil management system and clarify current issue. The method in this study was to collect, organize and evaluate relevant literatures. The literatures reviewed in this study were mainly in oil from Taiwan and Japan food safety regulation. In addition, food safety risks analysis developed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) applied for standard and made comparison analysis between Taiwan and Japan in terms of cooking oils. Under FAO/WHO food safety risks analysis, the results found that there is no independent multidisciplinary team of personals to conduct a risk assessment in Taiwan. In risk management, the current issues in Taiwan were ill-defined oil definition, flaw triage oil systems, loose inspection systems, enhancement food certification, and poor transparent in information. In risk communication, Taiwanese government did not have specifically department responsible for current system and did not have effective communication. We found that the shortage of manpower was a problem. Based on FAO/WHO food safety risks analysis (assessment, management and communication) and Japanese food safety management, there are several recommendations for Taiwanese government. Firstly, like Japan, we can establish an institution which include independent multidisciplinary team of scientists. This institution will not be influenced by political affairs. Secondly, the excellent experiences can be learned from Japan is to establish a well-defined cooking oils and avoided vague concepts. Seeking other existing organizations or NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) supports to increase the manpower and manages oil safety Thirdly, we should improve current food certification or encourage private units to develop reliable food certifications. Finally, one institution which can coordinate all organizations and integrate risk assessment and management into risk communication and education is a consideration strategy.

It was reported that Salmonellosis is one of the most primary foodborne diseases in the world. There are many types of foods potentially contaminated with Salmonella spp. such as poultry meats due to cross-contamination. The situation is likely to get worse because of abusive time-temperature management in the food chain. As recommended by Codex, HACCP concept has been widely used as a tool to manage the safety of food in food company yet it remains a challenge for small and medium size food company. This research aimed to propose a risk-based preventive control food safety system in the chosen company (poultry company) by using quantitative microbial risk assessment. Literature review was performed to collect relevant data related to prevalence and concentration of Salmonella spp. in poultry meat. We collected the time-temperature profile in poultry company by using data logger. We also performed in-depth interviews to validate the obtained information. To evaluate the exposure, a Monte Carlo simulation was used in @Risk software with 10,000 iterations. Furthermore, a scenario analysis was performed to allow the selection of preventive controls that can lead to much more effective interventions for reducing the risk. Preliminary data showed that there were some serious stages of temperature abuse in chill chain. The overall average temperature was 11.60℃ and the highest temperature could reach up to 29.75℃. The estimated exposure assessment showed the mean of fresh poultry exposure estivated value had 0.192 log MPN/6-kg package. Moreover, the mean risk of salmonella spp. detected per package was 0.0224 (baseline). each risk of alternatives was calculated to assess value changes by scenario analysis e.g., sanitation control (Alt#1), process control (Alt#2), supply chain control (Alt#3), Ideal condition combining Alt#1~3 (Alt#4) could reduce risk to 0.0205、0.01219、0.00596 and 0.00346 respectively. The cutting area temperature of current HACCP plan of the chosen company was set at 17℃ which could have Salmonella grow immediately. Additionally, the higher the temperature was, the higher the estimated risk was (Alt#5~9). As a result, we highly recommend the chosen company focus on supply chain management (Alt#3) then process and sanitation control (Alt#4) and set the temperature of cutting area at 4℃ to do operational practice (Alt#5). Furthermore, new food safety management system was proposed based on these outcomes. These findings could help poultry meat and other associated food companies to propose a better risk-based food safety management system.

This thesis aims to determine the equivalence between Taiwan official control system for fishery products intent to export to European Union and the Community control system by comparing the materials relevant to the inspection missions conducted by Food and Veterinary Office of the European Commission to Taiwan in 2006 and 2008. Results indicated that the recently developed Taiwan official control system for fishery products intent to export to European Union has included the qualification and training requirements for official control officers, management of national laboratories, supervision of control body, internal audit of official control agents. This control system, building up based on the Community provisions, is almost equivalent to the Community requirements. However, there is still a need to extend the hygiene control to other establishments include cold storage, ice making plants and carriers to reach a better official control on fishery product hygiene, water monitoring plan and rapid alert system. As a result, an improved risk management and emergent plan could lead to a perfect control system. The worldwide countries have respective quarantine and inspection provisions according to the WTO SPS requirements. The competence of official control is facing challenge due to the rejects by import countries after reviewing Taiwan’s food safety control system. The only successful program is the official control system for fishery products exporting to EU. This official control system then, can be used as an initiative model further been flexibly modified and applied to other food control system intended for complying with exportation requirement.

Title of Thesis:6S Electronicalized System For Sanitation Management and Food Safety: Based on the Theory of TPS and Deming Cycle Name of Institute: Executive Master of Business Administration, School of Management, National Chi Nan University Pages:112 Graduation Time:07/2016 Degree:Master Student Name:Hui-Min Lin Advisor Name:Dr. Shin-Mei Lin Abstract TPS developed was inspired by America. Early Toyota went to America and wanted to learn more experiences from Ford Motor, but found Ford Motor production way couldn’t meet their requirement. It’s not very efficient. They get their requirement during visiting at the Piggly Wiggly supermarket. They found the supermarket restocked only after customer purchased. Toyota imported the inspired into their production practices. This is the original shape of the Jidoka & JIT of TPS. The second-genernation successor imported the PDCA of Deming Cycle as a management way to complement the lack of TPS theoretical framework,and many discourses based on PDCA related with TPS was presented from then on, such as, 5S is the executive direction of the TPS around eliminating the 3Ms- Muri (overburden), Mura (unevenness) and Muda (waste) in Lean Manufacturing; And another idea--7 wastes of Lean is also discussed in reference to the question from Dr Deming. Continuous improvement is the Foundation of TPS and PDCA Cycle is the most effective tool for contiouous improvement. TPS developed PDCA Cycle as a problem solving tool, the theory structure of the entire production system made up, and Deming cycle application of TPS becomes better known. They complement each other. Importing the TPS can improve production efficiency really, and a lot of work discussed related with TPS recently. But the importing of Lean fails usually due to the problems of staff behavior, audit message issued unclearly, a mere formally becoming, unclear link path, too many files, inconsistent storage and so on.

Throughout the world, small-scale food vending forms an integral part of society, serving as a poverty buffer and a local based economy generation strategy to optimize livelihoods. However, untrustworthiness and safety concerns have been raised regarding the food handling practices and hygiene that tend to compromise the quality of the food sold in this sector. Thus, this study was conducted in order to propose the pillars of a safety management system for small-scale vended foods in Thulamela Municipality in South Africa. The pillars were proposed after assessing the level of small-scale food vendors’ knowledge, attitude and handling practices. Complementary, the microbiological quality of the commonly consumed small-scale vended foods was determined. A survey-underpinned exploratory sequentially integrated mixed methods research design was adopted. Fifty-four respondents participated in a qualitative study via administering a semistructured interview guide to key informants and focus groups. Correspondingly, quantitative data were collected through a 5-point Likert questionnaire, administered to 136 small-scale food vendors and 272 customers. An observation checklist was used to collect data on 124 food stalls focusing on food handling practices. Microbial loads were determined through analysing 28 food samples collected from seven informal food markets. Qualitative data were analysed using ATLAS. ti version 8.0. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 25.0 was used to analyse quantitative data. Descriptive statistics were used to calculate frequencies and mean scores. The Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient (r) was used to determine the degree of correlation among variables. Principal Component Analysis was used to isolate and deepen understanding of the main factors determining the knowledge and attitude towards food safety. Hierarchical Cluster Analysis was used to identify two cluster solutions for food handling practices. Mann-Whitney U tests were conducted to determine the relative stability of the generated two cluster solutions. Ordinal Least Square regression analysis was conducted to identify the variables which were critical in defining the state of food handling practices dynamics in the study area and their relationship with other variables. Data on the microbial counts were subjected to the Analysis of Variance. Duncan’s multiple range test was used to separate means while T-test was conducted to establish if there was any difference between organisms isolated for each food type from Thohoyandou and Sibasa markets. In general, food vendors were knowledgeable about personal (x̄ = 1.77) and food (x̄ = 1.75) hygiene respectively. However, they rarely considered knowledge of foodborne diseases and rules and regulations as crucial in defining the quality and safety of small-scale vended foods. Respondents reflected positive attitude towards personal hygiene (x̄ = 3.21), food hygiene (x̄ = 3.55) and utensils management (x̄ = 3.43). The highest correlation relations between variables of roadside vendors’ knowledge of food safety were observed to be between “Staphylococcus as a germ that causes foodborne diseases” and “Hepatitis A virus that can cause foodborne disease” (P < 0.01). From thirty-six factors that determined the knowledge and attitude towards food safety, the Principal Component Analysis isolated eight components that accounted for 50 % of the variability. Similarly, customers were knowledgeable about food hygiene (x̄ = 1.88) personal hygiene (x̄ = 1.86). They also showed positive attitude towards personal (x̄ = 3.66) hygiene, food (x̄ = 3.72) hygiene and utensils management (x̄ = 3.56). From thirty-six factors that determined the knowledge and attitude towards food safety, the Principal Component Analysis isolated ten components that accounted for 60. % of the variability. The results revealed the six major determinants of the state of handling practices in Thulamela Municipality. These were stalls conditions, personal hygiene, environmental and waste management, hygiene-related behaviour, food storage and utensils management. The most significant variables defining the state of food handling practices were protective clothing (P < 0.05) and stalls conditions (P < 0.05). The microbial counts (log10 cfu/g) of food samples ranged from 2.0 ± 2.08 to numerous to count for total plate count, 2.0 ± 1.00 to 6.6 ± 7.57 for Salmonella spp, 2.0 ± 2.64 to 3.9 ± 6.03 for S. aureus, 2.1 ± 1.73 to numerous to count for yeast, 2.0 ± 0.00 to 3.8 ± 10.00 for coliform bacteria and 2.0 ± 1.15 to 4.9 ± 21.66 for B. aureus. Coliform bacteria and B. cereus were not found in foods sold at Thohoyandou markets while mould was not detected in foods collected at both locations. Total plate count differed significantly (P < 0.05) between salads and chicken stews. Salmonella spp, significantly differed (P < 0.05) between salads and beef stews. For S. aureus, a significant difference was found in salads (P < 0.05). For yeast, significant differences (P < 0.05) were observed between salads and beef stews. The main objective of this study was to propose the pillars of a safety management for small-scale vended foods. Thus, the major components of pillars proposed were encored on hygiene (personal, food and handling practices), training programme, environmental management, infrastructure development and law enforcement. The training programme was scored as number one by the majority of food vendors (x̄ = 4.7) whilst personal hygiene was ranked first by the customers (x̄ = 4.8). The results of the study revealed the urgent need for basic training in food and personal hygiene throughout the value chain. Infrastructure development such as a decent food stalls with adequate working space, proper washing and storage facilities to improve food safety and hygienic practices was highlighted. Adequate access to waste-water and food disposal facilities aligned to vending spaces was also considered crucial. Thus, it is recommended that Thulamela Municipality should provide extensive training programme to ensure that proper hygiene practices are in place. Suitable regulations must be crafted to ensure that safe and secure foods are sold. Lastly, Thulamela Municipality should consider providing all vending stalls with basic infrastructure to close the gap between knowledge and practices of safe small-scale food vending.

The food safety issue in addition to a serious threat to the health and interests of the public, through the media coverage significantly, all of these food scandals contribute to consumers losing trust in the government. It also has damaged the image of Taiwan''s agricultural products and processed foods among the international market. Agribusiness is bound to strengthen the "Certification of Food Safety Management System"which has recognized internationally, as a way to strengthen the industry''s own self-management, enhance security control of agricultural products. The main purpose of this study is to see how "Food Safety Management System" ameliorate Taiwan rice producing Taiwan rice producing districts in order to enhance the safety and quality of Taiwanese rice, not only to increase the competitiveness of their products and to effectively differentiate differences between domestic and imported products, but also can enhance consumer confidence, establish food safety with no fear. n this study, only select the Rice vendors those who has “Rice Producing and Distribution Zones.” to be the research object is because of its control on raw material production and processing practices and processes, quite in line with ISO 22000 "Food Safety Management System" requirements, and can be established traceable source of production, processing and distribution process to the standard requirements. In the research, in-depth interviews with three Rice vendors’ CEOs, the main interview focused on the topic of how industries import the basic conditions for the "Food Safety Management System" and the actual processes, and what consultants recommended the need to improve to successfully validated and meet export demand with a variety of pathways. The study found that operators all got the rice inspection personnel license related to safety and quality of basic conditions. Production equipment and testing equipment and selection of varieties of raw materials and related process methods are sufficient to produce safe and high quality products. And also found that a large industry can implement the system requirements, if the manufacturing processes are in line with the ISO22000 standards. Helps self-management, strengthen brands, enhance the image, customers trust, and expand demand pathways, those are the reasons to input the system. The difficulty is in the long-time coach, worksheets and more, the burden and cost of labor and funding. Success factors include superiors support, with full consensus standards and implemented on the device. Benefit is the ability to strengthen internal controls, production processes and testing with standard operating procedures safety and quality are improved. Improvements: be reinforced on production equipment to increase production capacity and planning to achieve safe and high-quality products to meet customer demand.

Neste sentido, surge o objetivo da presente dissertação, que consistiu na implementação e integração da norma BRC Global Standard for Food Safety, versão 6, com a norma ISO 22000:2005, já implementada, na empresa Panificadora Costa & Ferreira, Lda. A empresa possui já um Sistema de Gestão de Segurança Alimentar (SGSA) pela implementação da norma ISO 22000:2005, pelo que houve a necessidade de avaliar os requisitos de ambas as normas, de forma a encontrar aspetos comuns e, assim, poderem ser integrados. As duas normas são compatíveis, na medida em que uma organização com um Sistema de Gestão de Segurança Alimentar (ISO 22000) pode complementá-lo com um sistema de garantia de conformidade do produto e o processo produtivo (BRC). Toda a revisão do sistema e documentação desenvolvida teve como base os requisitos dos dois referenciais. Com a implementação e integração da norma BRC no Sistema de Gestão Integrada (SGI) da empresa, foi possível demonstrar que a organização se encontra dotada para a produção de produtos alimentares seguros, tendo sempre em conta a melhoria contínua, satisfazendo os requisitos do cliente e facilitando a sua integração no mercado Internacional, nomeadamente o Britânico.
With the growing awareness and concern about food safety among consumers, retailers and European wholesalers for the quality and safety of products, companies in the food industry have been following this high level of demand, and thus, reinforcing the need to implement specific benchmarks. The Implementation of Food Safety Management Systems is an important competitive factor for any company linked to the food sector. In this sense, the objective of this thesis arises. It consisted in the implementation and integration of standard BRC Global Standard for Food Safety, version 6, with ISO 22000:2005, as implemented in the baking company Panificadora Costa & Ferreira, Lda. As the company already had a Food Safety Management System for the implementation of ISO standard 22000:2005, there was the need to assess the requirements of both standards in order to find common aspects, and in this way, integrate them. The two standards are compatible, to the extent that an organization with a Food Safety Management System (ISO 22000) can complement it with a product compliance assurance system and production process (BRC). All of the system review and documentation developed, was based on the requirements of the two references. With the implementation and integration of the BRC standard in the Integrated Management System of the company, it was possible to demonstrate that the organization is equipped to produce safe food products, taking into account continuous improvement, meeting customer requirements and facilitating their integration into the international market, especially the British market.

Full textA intensificação da concorrência e exigência na Segurança Alimentar incrementaram na indústria alimentícia uma crescente pressão para a melhoria dos processos e produtos, que levou à necessidade de implementação de Sistemas de Gestão da Qualidade e Segurança Alimentar, que por sua vez constituem um fator de competitividade imperativo para qualquer empresa ligada ao setor agroalimentar. Neste contexto, a presente dissertação decorre do estágio curricular realizado na empresa Castro, Pinto & Costa, Lda., e teve como um dos objetivos a implementação do Sistema HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) numa unidade de restauração do setor hoteleiro, na qual foram realizadas auditorias HACCP/ higiosanitários das quais resultaram relatórios técnicos e recolha de toda a informação necessária ao estudo HACCP apresentado no capítulo 2. O sistema HACCP tem vindo a revelar-se uma importante ferramenta na garantia da Segurança Alimentar. Consiste numa metodologia preventiva para analisar os possíveis perigos alimentares e estabelecer medidas de controlo direcionadas para a prevenção da ocorrência de situações indesejáveis e implementação de um sistema de vigilância do processo de produção dos alimentos. Perante o consumismo e a globalização dos mercados que têm influenciado, de forma significativa, as exigências dos consumidores no que diz respeito à Segurança Alimentar, as empresas presentes a nível internacional reforçam a necessidade da implementação de referenciais específicos. Neste sentido, o trabalho desenvolvido teve também como propósito o apoio à manutenção da certificação do referencial BRC Global Standard for Food Safety versão 7, numa empresa cuja atividade é a moagem de cereais. Por conseguinte, um dos requisitos fundamentais que a certificação BRC Food pressupõe é também a adoção e implementação da metodologia HACCP, sendo que o HA-CCP é um requisito legal, sendo comum às duas Organizações em estudo. Por fim, é de ressalvar que a empresa manteve a certificação segundo a Norma já referida.
The intensification of the competition and demand in Food Safety led to an increasing pressure for the improvement of processes and products in the food industry, resulting in the need to implement Food Quality and Safety Management Systems, what in turn constitutes an imperative factor of competitiveness for any company related to the agri-food sector. In this context, the present dissertation is based on the curricular internship held at the company Castro, Pinto & Costa, Lda. and had as one of the objectives the implementation of the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) System in a catering unit of the hotel sector. For this purpose, HACCP audits were carried out, obtaining technical reports and all the necessary information for the HACCP study presented in Chapter 2. The HACCP system has been proven to be an important tool in guaranteeing food safety. It consists of a preventive methodology that must be applied to analyze the possible food hazards and establish control measures aimed at preventing the occurrence of undesirable situations and implementing a monitoring system for the food production process. In the face of consumerism and the globalization of markets that have significantly influenced consumer demands for food safety, the international companies see the need for the implementation of specific benchmarks reinforced. In this sense, the work performed had the additional purpose of supporting the maintenance of the certification of the BRC Global Standard for Food Safety issue 7, in a company whose activity is the milling of cereals. Therefore, one of the fundamental requirements that the BRC Food certification assumes is also the adoption and implementation of the HACCP methodology, which is a common aspect of the two Organizations under study. Finally, it should be noted that the cereal milling company maintained the certification according to the Standard mentioned above.

A implementação de processos que garantam a melhoria da qualidade e segurança alimentar, permitem também conferir uma maturidade aos processos, reduzindo a variabilidade bem como aumentam a sua padronização. Possibilitando-se a redução de custos com desperdícios relacionados com a qualidade e segurança alimentar. O principal objetivo estabelecido para a presente dissertação consistiu na implementação de um Manual de Procedimentos Padronizados Operacionais de Higiene. No caso das indústrias de carne fresca e transformada, que abrangem um número elevado de pessoas, é imprescindível controlar as condições de segurança e higiene dos processos de produção/fabrico. De forma a garantir que não há contaminação de carne nem de subprodutos. Sendo também uma obrigatoriedade legal, garantindo ao cliente as devidas condições para o seu consumo. Este trabalho realizou-se numa empresa que comercializa produtos cárneos, nomeadamente preparados de carne, produtos à base de carne e processados. Foi então elaborado o manual de procedimentos padronizados operacionais de higiene, bem como efetuada a monitorização dos mesmos e avaliação da eficácia destes. Tendo sido também efetuada uma revisão aos planos de HACCP implementados, de forma a atualiza-los. Tendo ainda sido feito, fora do tema de dissertação, trabalhos práticos de monitorização de temperaturas no terreno, mais precisamente na secção da transformação, acompanhamento e ajuda na execução de custeios de produção bem como nas Especificações Técnico/Operacionais.

This was performed in the scope of the Master’s in Food Engineering. The main activity of the internship was based on the improvement of the integrated management system of the company with the purpose of obtaining the certification in the reference International Featured Standard (IFS) Food 6.1, one of the most important and recognised international certifications in the food area. The entire standard was analysed in order to understand the best methods to meet the requirements, as well as the legislation applicable to the food sector and to respond to the objective set. It was then necessary to carry out a diagnostic audit aimed at assessing the company’s status regarding compliance with the necessary prerequisites for obtaining certification. This audit had the IFS Food 6.1 checklist as a tool. The next step was to elaborate any missing associated documents, or to improve existing documents. The most of the work developed at the company was held on this topic. Different types of documents were developed, among which the following stand out: operational procedures, work instructions, records, audit plans and flowcharts. Training was also provided for new employees in food hygiene and safety and food defense. The certification process proved to be quite complex and slow, resulting in a large investment in human resources, infrastructure and equipment. All investment became visible during the company’s certification audit, in which I was able to participate as a member of the safety and quality team.

A sua finalidade foi melhorar o controlo dos possíveis perigos que os produtos enológicos podem apresentar para os consumidores. O projeto decorreu ao longo do estágio curricular, que teve lugar na empresa Castro, Pinto & Costa. Como estamos perante um sistema que engloba três normas, importa ainda realçar que, para a sua implementação, houve a necessidade de avaliar os requisitos de todas as normas, de forma a encontrar aspetos comuns e, assim, poderem ser integrados. As três normas são compatíveis, na medida em que uma organização com um Sistema de Gestão da Qualidade (ISO 9001) pode complementá-lo com normas de segurança alimentar (ISO 22000 e BRC). A documentação desenvolvida teve então por base os requisitos dos três referenciais, estando indicados, em cada documento realizado, os requisitos a que dão resposta. Com a implementação de um SGQSA, permitiu-se demonstrar a aptidão da CAC em proporcionar produtos alimentares seguros, que vão de encontro aos requisitos do cliente, visando aumentar a sua satisfação, num processo de melhoria contínua. Por fim, é de ressalvar que o SGQSA foi desenvolvido com o propósito de obter certificação, mas não foi possível obtê-la no período de estágio, dado que a auditoria de certificação só irá decorrer após a época das vindimas, para permitir elaborar os documentos relativos a esta prática.
The growing concern about food safety and the high level consumer’s demand for quality and safety of products has led to the implementation of Food Safety and Quality Management System (FSQMS), which constitute an important factor of competitiveness for any company in the agri-food sector. In this sense, this thesis aimed to implement a FSQMS in a wine company, precisely in Casa Agrícola de Compostela (CAC), located in Entre Douro e Minho region. The FSQMS was implemented according to the norms ISO 9001:2008, ISO 22000:2005 and BRC Food Issue 6. Its purpose was improving the control of possible dangers that oenological products may present for consumers. The project took place during the curricular internship, which took place in the company Castro, Pinto & Costa. As we are dealing with a system that comprises three norms, it should be noted that for its implementation, there was a need to assess the requirements of all norms in order to find common features, hence integrating them. The three norms are well-matched, to the extent that an organization with a Quality Management System (ISO 9001) can supplement it with food safety standards (ISO 22000 and BRC). The documentation developed then was based on the requirements of the three norms. In each of those documents it was detailed the requirements they satisfy. With the implementation of a FSQMS, it was possible to demonstrate the CAC’s ability to provide safe food products that meet customer requirements, increase his satisfaction, in a continuous improvement process. Finally, it must be pointed out that the FSQMS was developed with the purpose of obtaining certification, but it wasn’t possible to get it during the internship period, since the certification audit will only proceed after the harvest time, in order to allow drafting the documents regarding this practice.

Full textAtualmente, a gestão da qualidade é um elemento substancial na gestão de qualquer organização, envolvendo todas as pessoas para o alcance de objetivos comuns. Para além de um produto ou serviço continuamente melhorado, um decréscimo de recursos desperdiçados e consequente melhoria na produtividade, uma força de trabalho motivada, e uma vantagem concorrencial adquirida, a implementação de um sistema de gestão da qualidade é, assim, uma das estratégias empresariais para aumentar o relevo no mercado atual, acompanhando a evolução das exigências, cada vez mais rigorosas, dos clientes. A norma ISO 9001:2008 é um referencial internacional, que especifica os requisitos para um sistema de gestão da qualidade, baseada nos princípios da gestão da qualidade e estruturada para possibilitar a integração de outros sistemas, esta norma pode ser aplicada a qualquer organização e a qualquer setor de atividade. A alimentação não só é a base do quotidiano humano, pela sua necessidade, como se torna numa das principais fontes de risco para a saúde humana. As organizações associadas ao setor alimentar devem implementar metodologias capazes de assegurar que os perigos para a saúde dos consumidores são eliminados ou reduzidos a níveis aceitáveis. Para as ajudar no controlo destas matérias, torna-se necessário disponibilizar às empresas meios para melhorar o seu desempenho e promover a segurança alimentar. O sistema HACCP é uma ferramenta baseada em fundamentos científicos que permitem identificar perigos e selecionar potenciais medidas de controlo com base na prevenção e não no ensaio do produto final. Assim, o presente projeto, desenvolvido no ambiente empresarial da Castro, Pinto e Costa, Lda, teve como principal objetivo a implementação de sistemas de gestão da qualidade e segurança alimentar numa organização dedicada à confecção de produtos de pastelaria, para além de inúmeros outros trabalhos desenvolvidos neste campo. Durante o trabalho desenvolvido na empresa, o contacto permanente com a organização permitiu o desenvolvimento sustentado de toda a informação e documentação necessária para que ambos os sistemas fossem implementados com sucesso.
Currently, quality management is a crucial element in the management of any organization, involving all people to achieve common goals. The implementation of a quality management system is one of the today’s most relevant business strategies to increase the visibility of an organization in the global market. By implementing such a system, a continuously improved product or service is achievable with many other advantages, such as a decrease of wasted resources, a motivated workforce, and a gained competitive advantage. In addition to a continuously improved product or service, The ISO 9001: 2008 is an international standard, which specifies requirements for a quality management system based on the principles of quality management and structured to enable integration of other systems, this standard can be applied to any organization and any activity sector. The food is not only the basis of everyday human life as it becomes a major source of risk to human health. Organizations associated with the food industry should implement methodologies able to ensure that the hazards to the health of consumers are eliminated or reduced to acceptable levels. For assistance in controlling these commodities, it is necessary to provide the means for companies to improve their performance and promote food safety. HACCP is a tool based on scientific basis for identifying hazards and screen potential control measures based on prevention rather than on the end-product testing. So, this project, developed in the business environment of Castro, Pinto and Costa, Lda, aimed to the implementation of quality management systems and food safety in an organization dedicated to making pastries, as well as countless other work done in this field. During the work in the company, the permanent contact with the organization allowed the sustainable development of all the information and documentation necessary for both systems were successfully implemented.

Full textO presente documento decorre do estágio curricular realizado na empresa Castro, Pinto & Costa, Lda. (CPC), no âmbito da Unidade Curricular de Dissertação em Engenharia Biológica do 5º ano do curso de Mestrado Integrado em Engenharia Biológica. Para o estágio foram estabelecidos objetivos, nomeadamente a aquisição de competências inerentes à implementação e auditoria de Sistemas de Segurança Alimentar com base nos princípios HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points) e Sistemas de Gestão da Qualidade (SGQ). O sistema HACCP tem vindo a revelar-se uma importante ferramenta na garantia da Segurança Alimentar. Desenvolvido em resposta às necessidades do Homem na década de 60, é atualmente implementado em todas as empresas do setor alimentar como solução às exigências e preocupações da sociedade moderna. Consiste numa metodologia essencialmente preventiva que visa garantir a inocuidade dos géneros alimentícios através da identificação e controlo dos Pontos Críticos de Controlo (PCC’s). Ao longo do estágio foi realizado o estudo HACCP de uma unidade de restauração de ação social. Para tal, realizam-se auditorias HACCP com o acompanhamento de um auditor sénior das quais resultaram relatórios técnicos com as constatações finais e se procedeu à recolha de informação necessária ao estudo HACCP apresentado no Capítulo 2. A necessidade de destaque num mercado extremamente competitivo leva as empresas a implementar Sistemas de Gestão da Qualidade segundo a NP EN ISO 9001:2008, com o objetivo de demonstrar a sua capacidade em fornecer produto e/ou serviço conforme com os requisitos estatutários e regulamentares, do cliente e da Organização. Durante o período de estágio foi desenvolvido e implementado um SGQ num laboratório de Anatomia Patológica. De forma a desenvolver um Sistema adequado foi mantido o contacto continuo com o cliente para adquirir toda a informação inerente ao setor e metodologias utilizadas e assim elaborar toda a documentação necessária e consequente criação/adaptação de metodologias conforme preconizado na NP EN ISO 9001:2008, mencionada no Capítulo 3. O SGQ foi desenvolvido com o propósito de obter certificação, pelo que foi sujeito a auditoria interna e auditoria de concessão (1ª e 2ª fase), encontrando-se assim Certificado segundo a NP EN ISO 9001:2008.
This document follows from the traineeship carried out in the company Castro, Pinto & Costa, Lda. (CPC) in the context of Dissertation in Biological Engineering from the 5th year of the Master in Biological Engineering. There were established objectives for the traineeship, including the acquisition of skills related with the implementation and auditing of Food Safety Systems based on HACCP and Quality Management Systems (QMS). The HACCP system has proved itself as an important tool on the insurance of food safety. Develop in response of the man’s needs in the sixties, it is nowadays implemented in all the food companies as a solution to the demands and concerns of modern society. It is a methodology essentially preventive that insure foodstuffs safety through identification and control of Critical Control Points (CCP’s). Throughout the traineeship, a HACCP study was carried out on a restaurant unit of social action. For that, several HACCP audits were conducted with the accompaniment of a senior audit, from which resulted reports with the final considerations and it was gathered the information necessary to realize the HAACP study present in the Chapter 2. The need for highlight on an extremely competitive market leads companies to implement Quality Management Systems according to NP EN ISO 9001:2008 in order to demonstrate their ability to supply product and/or a service in accordance with legal, costumers and organization’s requirements. During the traineeship it was developed and implemented a Quality Management System on a laboratory of pathologic anatomy. In order to develop an appropriated QMS a continuous contact was kept with the client for gathering all the information related with the activity and methodologies and in this way realize all the documentation required and consequent creation/adjustment of methodologies as recommended in NP EN ISO 9001:2008, mentioned in Chapter 3. The QMS was developed with the purpose of obtaining certification, so it was subjected to internal and external audits, being thus certified according to NP EN ISO 9001:2008.
