New Zealand's approach to Food Safety Management 2002

Also available in:

No results found.

This paper outlines the application in New Zealand of a risk-based approach to food safety. It focuses on four key areas within the overall system in place in New Zealand: the roles within the government's regulatory model, the risk management framework, legislation, and measuring the regulatory system's performance. The New Zealand government has taken a partnership approach with food operators, assisting sectors to develop the tools they need to meet the mandatory outcome standards. Thes e include templates and codes of practice to assist operators to implement HACCP-based systems and risk management programmes. The approach has proven successful in contributing to the overarching goal of the food safety regulatory system: ensuring that the food that reaches consumers is safe and fit for purpose. The challenges for the future are in continuing to expand application of this approach across the entire food sector and measuring performance of the system.
