Gaps to Fill Between Theoretical Interoperable Quality and Food Safety Environment and Enterprise Implementations

  • Conference paper
Enterprise Interoperability IV

Abstract

Most of current quality and food safety information systems in the industry do not fill the special needs of the food companies, and the particular conditions of this sector suppose a strong barrier to make deep changes in legacy systems. The need for effective risk assessment and communication is becoming increasingly recognized by many governments and the food industry. Although risk communication of food safety issues is still in its infancy, much can be learned from past experience. This research analyzes initiatives, standards and other solutions that potentially can cover food chain traceability and food safety and quality management needs, and determines existing gaps to fill to achieve an interoperability environment model for the food chain.
