In today's global food market, safety is paramount amid rising concerns about foodborne illnesses. Robust food safety systems, supported by validated food safety plans, are essential for public health and consumer confidence. Validation ensures that processes effectively control pathogens, demonstrating that the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) system can produce safe food. Historical efforts dating back to ancient civilizations focused on basic hygiene, evolving into modern regulatory frameworks and organizations like the WHO and FAO. Validated food safety plans, guided by international standards, promote proactivity, transparency, and accountability, enhanced by technological advancements and global collaboration, ultimately ensuring the safety of the food supply chain.
