This book was released on 2019-07-15 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main objective of the Food control system assessment tool is to propose a harmonized, objective and consensual basis to analyse the performance of a national food control system. It is intended to be used by countries as a supporting basis for self-assessment to identify priority areas of improvement and plan sequential and coordinated activities to reach expected outcomes, and by repeating the assessment on a regular basis, countries can monitor their progresses. The Tool is based on Codex principles and Guidelines for National Food Control Systems as well as other relevant Codex guidance for food control systems, which are referenced throughout the document. Its scope is given by the dual objectives quoted in Codex guidance for these systems: protect health of consumers and ensure fair practices in the food trade. Dimension B is part of the Food control system assessment tool and focuses on the processes and the outputs of the control activities inherent to a national food control system. It reviews the control functions exercised by CAs over Food Business Operators (FBOs), be it at domestic, import or export level, to guarantee food safety and quality for national consumers along the food chain and fair trade practices. It also maps the control functions and mechanisms at the overall food supply level, necessary to identify, monitor, predict and handle food safety hazards and emerging risks and to deal with food emergencies. The main mechanisms that should be in place include data collection programmes on food products (also referred to as monitoring programmes), data collection programmes on food-borne diseases (also referred to as surveillance programmes), as well as programmes aiming at managing food safety emergencies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National food control system plays a pivotal role in protecting the health of consumers and ensuring fair practices in food trade. When we are able to assess performance of the system in a comprehensive way, it can identify priority areas of improvement and plan sequential and coordinated activities to reach expected outcomes. To demonstrate good performance of the system gives an opportunity to Member states for new markets, to improve trading relationships and to build stakeholder confidence domestically as well. FAO and WHO jointly developed a comprehensive tool to assist Member states in assessing the effectiveness of national food control system. The FAO/WHO Food Control System Assessment Tool comprises 162 assessment criteria under 25 system competencies over 4 Dimensions. This introductory booklet is designed to facilitate application of the assessment tool, and competent authorities are able to have an overview by this booklet before they initiate the assessment. This booklet includes several interactive buttons and links to better browse the document. Interactive tools (such as texts underlined in orange) includes also “pop-up” additional notes which can be opened clicking on the symbol +.

Its scope is given by the dual objectives quoted in Codex guidance for these systems: protect health of consumers and ensure fair practices in the food trade. DIMENSION A is part of the Food control system assessment tool and aims at mapping the fundamental elements necessary for the system to operate. These range from the policy and legal foundation of the food control system, to the fundamental inputs that should feed into the system to make it work properly: the financial resources to sustain the system; the infrastructure to enable the food control activities to take place; and the analytical resources to support official controls over food. It also analyses the issues related to food control personnel and the importance of their qualifications, professional development and motivation to contribute towards the achievement of the food control policy outcomes. While working through the dimension, the assessment process will evaluate the logical relationship between strategic planning to reach policy objectives and to implement legal requirements, and the available resources. This relationship, which can result in a feedback loop (adjusting strategies and considering policy choices to reflect resource constraints), is the underlying thread of Dimension A.

It is intended to be used by countries as a supporting basis for self-assessment to identify priority areas of improvement and plan sequential and coordinated activities to reach expected outcomes, and by repeating the assessment on a regular basis, countries can monitor their progresses.

Its scope is given by the dual objectives quoted in Codex guidance for these systems: protect health of consumers and ensure fair practices in the food trade. While the regulatory arm (policy and legal basis supported by official control functions) is usually what comes first to mind when reflecting about a national food control system, the “non-regulatory” components of that system also need to be taken into consideration. Dimension C is part of the Food control system assessment tool and identifies the interactions that must take place for the system to regularly adjust to national and international stakeholders’ evolving needs, to inspire confidence to stakeholders and to keep them well informed about their responsibilities. It focuses on the transparency of communication to consumers and on the food business operators and their integration into the food control system.
