식품 안전 문화를 효과적으로 구현하면 식품 사기에 대한 회사의 취약성을 줄이는 데 도움이 됩니다. 이러한 인식은 점점 더 널리 퍼지고 있으며 이제 가장 높은 정치적 수준에 도달했습니다. EU 집행위원회는 이제 규정 852를 수정하여 2021년 3월 3일에 채택했습니다. 이는 EU의 식품 안전에 대한 법적 근거 중 하나입니다. 여기에서 모든 정보와 배경을 찾을 수 있습니다.

식품 안전 문화는 위생 요구 사항의 주류에 진입했습니다. GFSI(Global Food Safety Initiative)가 2020년 2월에 감사 기준을 이 효과로 업데이트한 후, EU는 이제 2021년 3월에 식품 안전 문화를 영구적인 법률로 지정했습니다. 새로운 요구 사항은 EU 규정 2021/382에 명시되어 있습니다. 규정(EC) No 852/2004의 부록 수정.

The background

The introduction of food safety culture requirements at the EU level is related to the Codex Alimentarius. Codex Alimentarius is a collection of international food standards presented in a uniform form. It is based on the assumptions and decisions of the so-called Codex Alimentarius Commission, a joint body of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) of the United Nations. The Codex standards serve as a reference for international food trade.

The three objectives of the Codex Alimentarius Commission:

  • Protect consumer health
  • Ensure fair practices in the international food trade
  • Coordinate all work on food standards carried out by international governmental and non-governmental organizations.

All EU member countries are members of the Codex Alimentarius Commission. In 2003, the European Union also joined. It shares responsibilities with EU countries according to the degree of harmonization of their respective legislation.

What will change and when?

In September 2020, the Codex Alimentarius Commission adopted a revision of its global standard for general principles of food hygiene (CXC 1-1969). The revised CXC 1-1969 introduces the concept of food safety culture as a general principle. Food safety culture enhances food safety by increasing the awareness and improving the behavior of employees in food establishments. This impact on food safety has been demonstrated in several scientific publications.

The change in the Codex standard and the expectation of consumers and trading partners that food produced in the EU meets this standard make it necessary to include general food safety culture requirements in the EU regulation.

Here you can view the decision of Regulation (EC) No 852/2004.

Why is food safety culture so important?

The aim of food safety culture is to raise awareness and improve the behavior of employees in companies. A culture that values food safety shows employees, directly and indirectly, that food safety is important and necessary to succeed in the business. This influences behavior and helps ensure that employees do the right thing. For more information on what a food safety culture is and how to assess and maintain it, contact us.
