I was recently asked what the advantages of a food safety management system (FSMS) happened to be. All food businesses have a legal and moral obligation to produce their food safely and this is the prime or principal responsibility of management. Frankly, itโs the following:-
- Reduced risk of food poisoning through a structured, supervised and organised methodology
- It affords brand protection โ nothing worse than creating bad publicity !
- Creation and promotion of a safe food production culture within the organisation or business.
- Improved food safety standards
- A statement of intent to customers that food safety is important as part of the service and the business is keen to preserve its reputation.
- Compliance with food safety regulations and a critical feature of HACCP plans.
- It is a legal requirement and thus essential in defence of any due diligence.
- Creates good working conditions, with higher staff morale and a reduced turnover of staff
- Better productivity generally
