But there are also other consequences. ‘Outbreaks of food bore illness can damage trade and tourism, and lead to loss of earnings, unemployment and litigation International food trade and foreign travel are increasing, bringing important social and economic benefits. But this also makes the spread of illness around the world easier. Eating habits too, have undergone major change in four country over the last two decades and new food production, preparation and distribution techniques have developed to reflect this. Elective hygiene control, therefore, is vital to avoid the adverse human health and ‘economic consequences of food bare illness, food borne injury and food spoilage. Everyone, including farmers land growers, manufacturers and processors, food handlers and consumers, has a responsiblity to assure that food is safe and suitable for consumption ‘This standard is intended to lay a fizm foundation for ensuring food hygiene and shall be used in conjunction with each specific cade of hygienic practice, where appropriate, and the guidelines on microbiological criteria. A list of such standards is given in Annex A for guidance. 1S 2491 has been published forthe guidance ofthe users, but this standard in the present form is a non-certifiable ‘one and used in conjunction with IS 15000, A need was therefore felt to formulate a requirement based standard ‘which can be implemented and if required certified asa stand alone standard lessening and hastening the process ‘of implementation and certification of total food safety management based on HACCP. This standard is intended 1 fulfil this long fet need and follows the food chain ftom primary production through to final consumption, highlighting the key hygiene controls at each stage ‘This standard may be treated as a genetic pre-requisite to IS 15000 and IS/ISO 22000.
