New Trends Towards More Effective Food Safety Control

Sufficiency of safe and prime-quality food is one of the priorities of modern society. In meat production, an important measure to prevent zoonotic agents being transferred from animals to humans via meat is modern meat inspection. Systems for food safety assurance at the level of food producers include HACCP and GMP. One of the methods for validation and verification of GMP and HACCP systems is the implementation of process hygiene criteria at slaughterhouses. In case of the occurrence of foodborne disease, reliable and fast methods for detection of the causative agent are necessary.
