Food Quality Magazine
ISSUE 01 | JANUARY 2016
Introduction
Welcome to this issue of Food
Quality Magazine.
If you see this magazine for the
first time, you may ask the question, “Why another magazine?“, and
you have a reason to ask. There
are plenty of magazines on food quality and food safety topics.
However, from 20 years of auditing
experience, it is clear that there is a large number of food
companies, having difficulties in following all necessary
information in this time of information boom. They are
constantly looking for information sources, which will
keep them acquainted in the important areas to ensure
their food safety and quality management systems are
well developed, implemented and up to date to the latest requirements of the standards applied.
This was the reason, QUALIFOOD, a company with decades of experience in consulting and auditing to GFSI
approved standards decided to publish the magazine.
The magazine is focused on key standards used in the food industry in area of food quality and safety. The GFSI`s
(Global Food Safety Initiative`s) approved standards
are one of the most important standards in the food
industry. You will find in our magazine regular updates
on the BRC, IFS, FSSC 22000, SQF, GlobalGAP standards,
together with articles describing the implementation of
individual requirements. The magazine is a long term
media partner of GFSI`s Global Food Safety Conference.
Hope to see you this March at next conference in Berlin.
In this issue, you will find articles on different subject
including food fraud, food legislation, GMO legislation in
different countries, use of solar energy in food industry,
hygiene design of drainage systems in food industry and
many more.
In regular sections “Food Industry News“, “Food Safety
Crises“ and “Events“, you will find updates on important
news, events, publications and crises relevant to the focus of our magazine.
I believe you will find this magazine useful in your daily
work. If so, the magazine will fulfill its goal, which is to
help the food companies by providing them important
and up to date information in simple, understandable
and practical ways. We decided on free subscription to
enable all sizes and levels of companies, from any part of
the world, access to information.
If you enjoy the magazine or any specific articles, we
would be happy if you help us by sharing them on social
media.
