Global Case Study on FSMS Implementation in Small- to Medium- Sized Companies in Developing Regions
A recent review of case studies on food safety management systems (FSMS) in small- to medium-sized food businesses around the world has painted a picture of global FSMS developments and identified the constraints and advantages associated with their implementation.
The objective of the research was to examine the impact of food safety standards—such as FSSC 22000, Hazards Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP), Prerequisite Programs (PRP), and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs)—on the food industry in both developing and developed regions, globally. To learn more about the topic, 116 surveys were distributed throughout developing and developed regions worldwide across 27 primary food sectors. The surveys were divided into two categories—one that collected data before the implementation of FSMS and the other that collected data after the implementation of FSMS.
