food quality control

1. Basic Food
Safety & cGMP

2. Agenda
• Basic Food Safety
• cGMP
• Food Handling Practices

3. Food Safety
- is a scientific discipline describing
handling, preparation, and storage of food in
ways that prevent food-borne illness.

4. Food Safety
•Food can transmit pathogens which can result in the illness
or death of the person or other animals. The main mediums
are bacteria, viruses, mold, and fungus. It can also serve as
a growth and reproductive medium for pathogens. In
developed countries there are intricate standards for food
preparation, whereas in lesser developed countries there are
less standards and enforcement of those standards.

5. Food Safety Act
• THE IMPLEMENTING RULES AND REGULATIONS OF REPUBLIC ACT
NO. 10611, “AN ACT TO STRENGTHEN THE FOOD SAFETY
REGULATORY SYSTEM IN THE COUNTRY TO PROTECT
CONSUMER HEALTH AND FACILITATE MARKET ACCESS OF LOCAL
FOODS AND FOOD PRODUCTS, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES”
OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE “FOOD SAFETY ACT OF 2013.”

6. Food Safety Act
• Section 15, Article II of the 1987 Philippine Constitution declares that the State
shall protect and promote the right to health of the people and instill health
consciousness among them. Furthermore, Section 9, Article XVI provides that the
State shall protect consumers from trade malpractices and from substandard or
hazardous products. Toward these ends, the State shall maintain a farm to fork
food safety regulatory system that ensures a high level of food safety, promotes
fair trade and advances the global competitiveness of Philippine foods and food
products.

7. 5 key principles of food hygiene
1. Prevent contaminating food with pathogens spreading from
people, pets, and pests.
2. Separate raw and cooked foods to prevent
contaminating the cooked foods.
3. Cook foods for the appropriate length of time and at
the appropriate temperature to kill pathogens.
4. Store food at the proper temperature.
5. Do use safe water and safe raw materials.

8. GMP “Good Manufacturing Practices”
• Good manufacturing Practices are those activities and
practices that we do to prevent hazards or contamination
from entering food products.
• Always improving and changing (that is why they are
called “current”)

9. cGMP Violations --
Severe Consequences
• Product is “adulterated”
• Shutdown of manufacturing facility
• Seizure of product
• Recall product
• Front page press coverage
• Competitive disadvantage

10. Good Manufacturing Practices
Deal with contamination
• by people
• by food materials
• by packaging materials
• by hazardous materials
• by miscellaneous materials

11. Contamination
•Contamination is the presence of an unwanted material in a
product, physical body, natural environment, workplace, etc.
Contaminants are biological, chemical, physical substance
•Any behavior that could result in food adulteration such as
eating, use of tobacco, chewing gum or other unhygienic
practices, is not allowed in food handling areas

12. Hazards
•Physical hazard
- chipped off glass, plastic, wood, stone, etc
•Chemical hazard
- oil, lubricants, detergent, etc.
•Biological hazard
- bacteria, fungi, virus

13. Prevent contamination
Careless employee practices can cause
product contamination.
The best way to avoid contamination is to
prevent it.

14. How do we prevent
contamination?
GMP!

15. Good Manufacturing Practices
• Personnel Hygiene
• Building and Facilities
• Tools and Equipment
• Food Handling Practices
• Raw materials / ingredients
• Cleaning & Sanitation Program
• Pest Control Program

16. General Employee
Hygiene

17. Hygiene
All employees working in direct contact with
food, food contact surfaces and food
packaging must conform to hygienic practices.
This protects against food contamination by
microorganisms or unwanted material.

18. Hygiene and Communicable Diseases
