Food Hygiene Management
– Institutionalization of Hygiene Management in Accordance with HACCP –
Various methods for food hygiene management exist in the world. In recent years, the environment surrounding the food industry both domestically and internationally has increasingly emphasized the importance of food safety, reliability, scientific evidence, and ensuring transparency. HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) has already been introduced in many countries, primarily in advanced nations, as a “global standard guideline for food hygiene,” with a trend towards mandating hygiene management in accordance with HACCP. In Japan, HACCP has been institutionalized with the revision of the Food Sanitation Law, and HACCP has become fully mandatory in June 2021. Food defense and contamination prevention are increasingly important elements of food safety management.
Food Safety Management Systems
Given the increasingly complex and internationalized food distribution processes, there is a growing demand for food safety standards that are internationally recognized, not just “guidelines” for food safety. ISO 22000 and FSSC 22000 are international standards that specify the requirements for establishing a food safety management system aimed at “providing safe food to consumers.” These standards are highly trusted in international trade, to the extent that some companies will not trade products not certified under these standards.
The Spread of “Halal Certification” for Food Safety in Islamic Society
Muslims make up a quarter of the world’s population, approximately 2 billion people, and the global food market is worth 60 trillion yen. Moreover, Islamic dietary laws prohibit the consumption of pork, animal-derived foods, and alcohol, and there is a system known as “Halal Certification” for food. Halal derives from the Arabic word “Halal,” which means “permissible” under Islamic law. It denotes products and activities deemed permissible and wholesome under Islamic law.
