But who is affected by this principle?
The WHO has a guideline that stipulates that the HACCP concept must be implemented from the production of food right through to the consumer
(from farm to fork). It therefore involves food traders* at all stages of the production, processing and sale of foods. In addition, it also concerns the export of foods.
*A food trader is anyone involved in activities relating to the production, processing or sale of foods. It is irrelevant whether or not these companies are set up to make a profit,
or whether they are in the public or private sector.
