working group quality management and food industry

The quality management and food industry working group focuses primarily on the implementation of quality management systems in food production. It discusses and evaluates current developments from a scientific perspective and from the viewpoint of all stakeholders in the food chain ( food monitoring, the food industry , and service providers). This includes relevant standards and food safety standards for the implementation and further development of food hygiene, the prevention of undesirable substances, and good manufacturing practice (GMP) in the food chain.

The working group thus contributes its interdisciplinary expertise in the interest of preventative consumer protection and focuses its considerations on practical aspects of implementing new requirements. It sees itself as an interdisciplinary working group that maintains a dialogue with the other working groups of the German Society for Food Chemistry.

The working group quality management and food industry was formed from the merger of the working group Quality Management & Hygiene and the Working Group Food Industry , following a decision by the board of the Food Chemistry Society at its meeting on 15.9.19 in Dresden.
