Food Safety

🍽️ The 5 Main Pillars of Food Safety

1. ⚠️ HACCP — Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Points

Identify potential food safety hazards and determine the critical control points where those risks can be prevented, controlled, or reduced before the food reaches the consumer.

2. 📋 GMP — Good Manufacturing Practices

Maintain proper standards for hygiene, equipment maintenance, facilities, and production processes to ensure food is consistently produced safely.

3. 🧼 SOP — Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures

Create and follow clear cleaning and sanitation procedures to prevent contamination and maintain a hygienic environment.

4. 📍 Traceability

Track food products and ingredients throughout the supply chain—from the supplier to the final product—so issues can be identified and products can be recalled quickly if necessary.

5. 👥 Training & Awareness

Educate employees about food safety responsibilities so they understand the correct procedures and take ownership of food safety practices.

🎯 Overall Meaning

The poster emphasizes that food safety is not just one person's responsibility or a single procedure. It is a complete system where every pillar supports the others.

Identify risks → Maintain standards → Keep everything clean → Track everything → Train everyone.
