2. SUMMARY OF THE SOURCE

This article talks about how well the standardization of food quality and safety management has been established in the European Union and the United States. There is a considerable business needs for internationally consistent quality and safety systems since most of the food industry is highly internationalized both in the contract manufacturing and general supply. An international organization for standardization that was released in 2005 is an international auditable standard that is designed to ensure safe food in worldwide supply chains. This standardization makes it feasible for all parts of the worldwide food chain from retail outlets, processors to transport to implement safety of food in a standardized way.
