- First Food Safety System: 1960/NASA/US Army/Pilsbury)- 7 Principles – Proactive approach towards food safety- Hazard Analysis& Critical Control Point - GAP/GMP/SOP/SSOP Prerequisite Programs
ISO 22000-2005
- Interactive communication - System management - HACCP principles- Continous improvement
Croatian Food Safety Update
1. EU Food Law – Regulation EC/178/2002
