Food hygiene and safety are a priority component of everyone's day-to-day life and of a wide range of activities and institutions. Today, more than ever, the safety of food products is a central concern in the eyes of citizens and responsible organisations, as well as a necessary condition for strengthening consumer protection. One of the sectors of economic activity with the greatest impact on consumers is undoubtedly the food sector. It's a sector where supply is constantly growing as trade intensifies and where quality is also demanded by those who buy. Companies that produce, handle, supply or distribute food recognise an ever-increasing need to demonstrate and document control conditions that have an impact on food safety, in order to guarantee the essential food quality.
