The
food and beverage industry is essential to any nation in the world. It refers
to restaurants, cafeterias, cafes, fast food chains, pubs, delicatessens, food
manufacturing operations, catering business, food transportation services, hotel
and more. This is one of the most important of all the industries of the world,
as food is universal to human life and health, hence, imperative for this
industry to observe and practice local and international standards of food
safety and business operations.
To ensure consumer welfare, numerous domestic regulations and guidelines are in place to uphold food safety and hygiene standards. The Food Safety Act of 2013 is the primary legislation governing these regulations, providing a comprehensive framework for the implementation of farm-to-fork safety regulatory systems. This law guarantees a high level of food safety, promotes fair trade, and enhances the global competitiveness of Filipino food and food products. Regulatory bodies overseeing these standards are attached to the Department of Health (DOH) and the Department of Agriculture (DA).
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) operates with unified objectives for both local and global markets. It offers internationally recognized guidelines that provide a framework for companies in the food and beverage industry to establish and enhance their businesses, products, and processes. These guidelines facilitate necessary policy changes for the improvement of workforce, organizational structures, and various operational aspects.
ISO 22000 certification specifically focuses on food safety management standards. It is applicable to primary producers such as farms and fisheries, as well as processors and manufacturers involved in the production of packaged or canned foods. Additionally, it extends to establishments within the food industry, including restaurants, hotels, caterers, and other businesses engaged in food preparation. The ISO 22000 certification sets forth essential requirements to ensure the safety and quality of food throughout the entire supply chain.
