The food we are eating today is undoubtedlysafer than ever before in our thousand-year oldeffortto produce as much quality (i.e. hygienic) food as possible.
Modern methods of production, processing, storage, transport and finally sale sometimes has a negative impact on the quality, i.e. hygiene of food has a significant role in etiology of various human diseases.
Food safety is therefore a very important materialized part of nutrition and healthcaresystems, and the security strategy is made possible only due to the principles of good hygienic and production practice (agricultural, veterinary, technological) and on the basis of critical evaluation of acceptable risk and control of critical production points – HACCP system which enables identification, evaluation and control over chemical, physical and biological food dangers which are important for food security in all stages of production, processing and distribution of food. Microbiological dangers in food represent the main source of food diseases and may cause economic losses for food production and food industry.
Microbiological criteria can be used for validation and verifiction of HACCP procedures and other methods of hygiene control. Accordingly, tresholds were established defining conformity of the process as well as microbiological criteria for the food safety setting the limits over which the food is to be considered unsuitably contamined with microorganisms encompassed by the criteria.
