The very significant element of food safety is traceability, i.e. "the ability to trace and follow a food, feed, food-producing animal or substance intended to be, or expected to be incorporated into a food or feed, through all stages of production, processing and distribution1."Article 18 of the main EU legal act in the field of food and feed safety - Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council - requires that "the traceability of food, feed, food-producing animals, and any other substance intended to be, or expected to be, incorporated into a food or feed shall be established at all stages of production, processing and distribution1."]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.newfoodmagazine.com/1877/new-food-magazine/past-issues/the-implementation-of-an-advanced-traceability-system-in-a-polish-fish-processing-plant/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Detecting bacterial spores in soup manufacturing</title><link>http://www.newfoodmagazine.com/233/new-food-magazine/past-issues/issue-3-2009/detecting-bacterial-spores-in-soup-manufacturing/?utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=detecting-bacterial-spores-in-soup-manufacturing</link> <comments>http://www.newfoodmagazine.com/233/new-food-magazine/past-issues/issue-3-2009/detecting-bacterial-spores-in-soup-manufacturing/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 10 Sep 2009 21:56:28 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Issue 3 2009]]></category> <category><![CDATA[A.C.M van Zuijlen]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Check-Points B.V.]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Clostridium botulinum]]></category> <category><![CDATA[mesophilic aerobic sporeforming bacteria (Bacillus)]]></category> <category><![CDATA[P.

Because of an increasing demand for more fresh products, ideally the processing temperatures should be tailored to inactivate the actual spore load rather than applying worst case scenarios. In doing that, unnecessary loss of product quality can be prevented without running the risk that the product will spoil or cause safety issues.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.newfoodmagazine.com/233/new-food-magazine/past-issues/issue-3-2009/detecting-bacterial-spores-in-soup-manufacturing/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>The ISO 22000 series &#8211; global standards for safe food supply chains</title><link>http://www.newfoodmagazine.com/612/new-food-magazine/past-issues/issue-2-2009/the-iso-22000-series-global-standards-for-safe-food-supply-chains/?utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=the-iso-22000-series-global-standards-for-safe-food-supply-chains</link> <comments>http://www.newfoodmagazine.com/612/new-food-magazine/past-issues/issue-2-2009/the-iso-22000-series-global-standards-for-safe-food-supply-chains/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 01 Jun 2009 16:52:07 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Issue 2 2009]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Bureau Veritas Certification]]></category> <category><![CDATA[HACCP]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ISO 22000]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Jacob Færgemand]]></category> <category><![CDATA[QA/QC]]></category><guid

isPermaLink="false">http://www.russellpublishing.co.uk/NF/?p=645</guid> <description><![CDATA[Increasing interest by consumers, producers and retailers in food safety, supported by several regulations of the European Commission (e.g. EC-regulation 178/2002; EC-2073/2005 amended by EC-regulation 1441/2007), gives accurate shelf-life determination of products a new consequence. Although there is rapid progress in food processing and new concepts such as predictive microbiology have found practical applications, differences between the predicted and actual shelf-life have to be noted. The reasons may be related to the wide range of reactions which cause food spoilage. According to EC-regulation 178/2002 (article 14, 2b, 5), spoiled products have to be considered as unsafe and as unfit for human consumption. In that case, food shall not be placed on the market.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.newfoodmagazine.com/645/new-food-magazine/past-issues/issue-2-2009/to-what-extent-do-microbial-enzymes-affect-the-shelf-life-of-food-of-animal-origin/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Assessing the safety of genetically modified crops used for food and feed purposes</title><link>http://www.newfoodmagazine.com/720/new-food-magazine/past-issues/issue-1-2009/assessing-the-safety-of-genetically-modified-crops-used-for-food-and-feed-purposes/?utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=assessing-the-safety-of-genetically-modified-crops-used-for-food-and-feed-purposes</link> <comments>http://www.newfoodmagazine.com/720/new-food-magazine/past-issues/issue-1-2009/assessing-the-safety-of-genetically-modified-crops-used-for-food-and-feed-purposes/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 20 Feb 2009 21:54:52 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Issue 1 2009]]></category> <category><![CDATA[genetically modified crops (GM)]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Gijs A.

The agricultural area that is covered with these crops has since then grown steadily, reaching 114 million hectares globally in 20072. GM crops and the foods and animal feed that are derived from them commonly have to be approved for marketing, for which they also have to undergo a safety assessment.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.newfoodmagazine.com/720/new-food-magazine/past-issues/issue-1-2009/assessing-the-safety-of-genetically-modified-crops-used-for-food-and-feed-purposes/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Training, education and capacity building in food and water safety and in nutrition</title><link>http://www.newfoodmagazine.com/749/new-food-magazine/past-issues/issue-1-2009/training-education-and-capacity-building-in-food-and-water-safety-and-in-nutrition/?utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=training-education-and-capacity-building-in-food-and-water-safety-and-in-nutrition</link> <comments>http://www.newfoodmagazine.com/749/new-food-magazine/past-issues/issue-1-2009/training-education-and-capacity-building-in-food-and-water-safety-and-in-nutrition/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 20 Feb 2009 15:27:14 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Issue 1 2009]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Leon Gorris]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Nestlé]]></category> <category><![CDATA[QA/QC]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Unilever]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Yasmine Motarjemi]]></category><guid
