Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This chapter outlines the interactions between a hazard analysis and critical control point (HACCP) system and multiple prerequisite programs (PRPs) to produce a food-safety management program that can be applied globally throughout the food supply chain, from farm to table. The HACCP system is supported by three major PRPs: good agricultural practices, good hygienic practices and good consumer practices. While there are many effective food-safety practices and regulations, the current global system of food-safety management is poor. This chapter describes multiple barriers to food-safety progress and proposes new measures for significant improvements in global food-safety management. Such measures are necessary if HACCP is to be applied to non-traditional areas in the supply chain.
