Food Safety Culture
Food Safety Culture, or food safety culture, has been part of management expectations in the food industry since 2015. According to the GFSI, Food Safety Culture encompasses the shared values, beliefs and norms that influence the mindset and behavior around food safety throughout the organization. Executives must demonstrate their commitment to establishing, implementing, maintaining and improving the food safety management system. Key elements of this include communication, training, employee feedback and measuring the performance of the food safety management system. These requirements are not only in legislation (Regulation (EU) 2021/382, an amendment of Regulation (EU) 852/2004), but also in quality standards such as IFS, BRCGS and FSSC22000. Developing and maintaining a positive food safety culture requires more than writing out a procedure; it requires continuous commitment and support throughout the organization. What are the minimum elements required for a successful food safety culture? How does such a culture contribute to a company's profitability? What are the legal and normative requirements? And what steps lead to effective results? In this white paper you will find the answers!
