Current Concerns

Food safety and eradication of food waste are current concerns of society and governments due to health, ethics, and sustainable economics. There are multiple technologies for monitoring food safety at different chain stages, among them, time-temperature integrators (TTI). Temperature is a major factor affecting food quality and safety during its life cycle. This parameter can be monitored using TTI devices on food packages, allowing users to know the thermal exposure. This chapter addresses food safety issues, namely factors related to microbial growth responsible for food deterioration. Moreover, TTI monitoring technologies are also described, focusing on features, advantages, disadvantages, applicability, and product examples. Analysis of the current state of TTI and technological evolution, a prediction is provided for future TTI devices designed for more assertive, traceable, safe, and quality food products.

Operational Activities

In the modern world, the requirements for the quality and safety of food products are constantly increasing. In order to make a profit and survive in a tough competition ring, manufacturers often come up with complex food compositions that provide a long shelf life and a wide range of temperature corridors during storage, which entails a decrease in the quality of life of people, an increase in the level of morbidity and risks associated with a threat to life. The interest of consumers in obtaining knowledge in the field of food quality and safety has grown significantly, as well as the possibility of obtaining this information through the Internet. All this has led to the imposition of more stringent requirements for both consumers and state regulatory bodies, to confirm food safety. In matters of ensuring and managing the quality of food products, the organization of product traceability plays a key role.This article discusses the main tasks of introducing state information systems of traceability of the GIS «Mercury» and «Honest Sign», as well as the problems faced by business systems when integrating these systems into operational activities.

Behavior strategy of food enterprises exerts a direct influence on food quality and safety. Against the backdrop of value perception differences on food quality and safety between different food enterprises, this paper establishes a static game model and based on prospect theory, explores the reasons for food quality and safety issues in our food market from the perspectives of psychology and economics. Finally, it presents a more scientific food quality and safety mechanism and countermeasures.

Food Quality And Safety

In 2004, the European Commission approved the specific support action 'Integration of Mycotoxin and Toxigenic Fungi Research for Food Safety in the Global System' (MycoGlobe, contract FOOD-CT-2004-007174) within the Sixth Framework Programme, Food Quality and Safety. The aim of the MycoGlobe project (http://mycoglobe.ispa.cnr.it) was to implement the outcomes of a wide range of European research projects in the area of mycotoxins and toxigenic fungi by supporting, stimulating and facilitating cooperation between countries in the European Union and other countries that have bilateral scientific and technological cooperation agreement with the European Union (such as USA, Australia and South America). Through a series of conferences and interactions between scientists worldwide, MycoGlobe was a very successful project. The scientific significance of the MycoGlobe project consisted in the spread of knowledge of advanced research tools in genomics and sophisticated and rapid detection systems for mycotoxins and toxigenic fungi; and evaluation of research policy and procedures to achieve best practice for enhancement of food quality and safety by elimination of mycotoxins and toxigenic fungi from commodities. The socio-economic significance of the project was the setting up of a global collaborative network for research and technology transfer in the field of mycotoxins and toxigenic fungi, particularly for the benefit of the developing countries. A relevant outcome of the project was also the launching of the International Society for Mycotoxicology (http://www.mycotoxsociety. org) to promote research on mycotoxins and toxigenic fungi, thereby leading to prevention and reduction in exposure to mycotoxins, enhanced food safety and a greater public awareness of this area.

In this modern era of digitalization and consumer awareness regarding food safety issues, it has become important to build proper strategies that can ensure the quality and safety of the food items from farm to forks. People love to eat at restaurants not only during business meetings but also with their family for fun and entertainment. The choice and safety of the food is vital to attract the consumer in this competitive environment. Previously, conventional methods have been employed for assurance of quality and safety parameters of the food. But in this modern era, there are many potential alternatives that can serve the purpose rapidly and non-destructively. Hence, this chapter describes the rapid and non-destructive methodologies such as fluorescence, NIRS, MIR, and Raman spectroscopy that can be used for the food safety evaluations.

Food Manufacturer

On the discussion of food safety, the majority of China's scholars believe that the food manufacturer should responsible for its inferior products. The food manufacturer should be punished by government more than that of wholesaler and retailer. But the punishment produces less effect on the food manufacturer’s adverse selection. This paper establishes a three-sector model, and analyzes empirically the distribution of benefits among food manufacturer, wholesaler and retailer. The research result shows that the unreasonable distribution of benefits resulting in manufacturer’s adverse selection on food safety in supply chain. Therefore, in order to improve the governance of food quality and safety, government should concern about the distribution of benefits among food manufacturer, wholesaler and retailer in supply chain. Based on the above analysis, this paper puts forward some corresponding recommendations.
