Food operations do not need to completely change
the way they manage food safety now a number of
new concepts have been introduced in food safety control.
At an operational level, many of the concepts, standards
and guidelines that are used to date will be needed
in the future. However, what is a new aspect is that food
safety management will need to be able to design their
operations in such a way that the food at the moment
it is eaten complies with the FSO. The established food
safety management systems (i.e. HACCP, GHP, GMP)
and supply chain targets (e.g. microbiological specifications
or process criteria) will continue to be used in
order to meet the FSO. They will not become obsolete
but remain a necessary, integral part of the future food
safety management
