There is an international standard that is intended to be used within the food industry called ISO 22000.[1] It allows organizations to understand what traditional quality assurance and preventive food safety measures should be implemented within their industry.
The laws for food safety and control have been making progress since 1883 when Dr. Harvey Wiley became chief chemist for the U.S. Department of Agriculture. He spent his time campaigning for federal laws to be enacted. He was referred to as the “Crusading Chemist” and “Father of the Pure Food and Drug Act.”
