Compliance to the premise requirements is one of certification criteria before Halal Certificates been issued and use of the Halal symbol on the products. Malaysian Standard MS 1514: 2012 Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) For Food is important reference for the company to comply with premise requirements beside MS 1500 : 2009 Halal Food - Production, Preparation, Handling And Storage - General Guidelines (Second Revision). A study was conducted to harmonize the requirement of MS 1514:2009 and MS 1500:2009 for food premise design and facilities. The study is based on literature review. As conclusion, harmonizing between compliance to MS 1500 and MS 1514 on premises' design and facilities requirements must be coordinated in order to avoid confusion among SMEs.

1. Introduction

Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) :

Universal steps or procedures that control the

operational conditions within a food establishment

allowing for environmental conditions that are

favourable for the production of safe food (Malaysian

Ministry of Health;Wallace & Williams 2001)

A set of regulations, codes and guidelines that

control the operational conditions within a food

establishment allowing for the production of safe

food (MS 1514 : 2009)

The success of GMP implementation as one of the

prerequisite program (PRP) in a food premises

determine the effective implementation of food

safety assurance system (Bata et al . 2006; Fotopoulos et al .

2011; Jin et al. 2008; Wallace et al. 2005; Yabanci & Sanlier 2007)

1. Introduction GMP emphasized the HACCP

implementation - to prevent cross

contamination, allocates proper space

for the cooking area and kitchen to

enable improved employee

commitment and facilitate monitoring

(Garayoa et al ., 2011; Soriano et al ., 2002; Sun &

Öckerman 2005; Yabanci & Sanlier 2007; Youn &

Synergistic implementation of good

practices and HACCP approach -

proved to be very efficient and helpful

in cost-effective for compliance with

food safety legislation (Notermans & Mead,

1996; Sarter et al., 2010; Unnevehr & Jensen, 1999).

A comprehensive halal food guideline known as Malaysia Standard Halal Food Guidelines (MS 1500: 2009) was launched in 2004. This standard is a new concept in marketing as well as a quality benchmark for producers. The objective of the study is to analyse the gap between importance and performance factors in the implementation of MS 1500: 2009 Halal food guidelines in Malaysia. Survey questions were distributed to managers or supervisors of selected Halal companies located at two Halal Hubs in Malaysia. Findings suggest that the companies in the sample should target improvements of the premises' layout in the implementation of MS 1500: 2009 standard. Besides that, these companies shall also focus on the factor that relates to the processing of Halal food. The results indicate that the use of the importance-performance analysis in evaluating the implementation of MS 1500: 2009 standard can identify how companies implement this standard effectively.

Purpose – This study aims to determine the hygienic conditions of nursery schools' kitchens in Ankara, the capital of Turkey. Design/methodology/approach – The research sampling was obtained from 87 nursery schools. The research data were collected through a questionnaire and face-to-face interviews and observations. The questionnaire contained 59 questions and total of 100 points, the nursery schools' kitchens being graded as follows: 56-100 points good, 41-55 points acceptable, 40 points and below bad. The data were analyzed with SPSS 10.0 for Windows. Mean, standard deviations of all scores and percentages of responses in each category were calculated and presented in tabular form. Findings – A statistical analysis of the scores shows that 0.3 per cent of the kitchens investigated were rated as good and put in this category, 57 of them (65.5 per cent) were found to be acceptable and the rest (24.1 per cent) were rated as bad. The nursery schools' kitchens were given the lowest score in staff training, while the highest score was given in dishwashing hygiene. Practical implications – The hygiene of the food served in nursery schools is of great importance in terms of children's health. It is therefore essential to increase the number of studies carried out regarding the food served in nursery school kitchens and regarding hazard analysis and critical control point (HACCP) issues, and to concentrate on the education of the kitchen staff. Originality/value – This paper focuses on hygiene issues in nursery school kitchens in Turkey.

Based on a survey of 117 food enterprises in Zhejiang Province, China, this paper presents the results with respect to the adoption of the hazard analysis and critical control point (HACCP) system in the Chinese food industry with special emphasis on the food enterprises without an HACCP system. The findings suggest that compared with those that have adopted an HACCP system, the food enterprises that have not adopted HACCP system can be identified by the following criteria, small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), suppliers of the domestic market which have not implemented other quality management systems and of which managers have relatively low education levels and who have a limited perception of the HACCP system. The results also indicate that food enterprises without an HACCP system in practice are more sensitive to external factor incentives such as consumer awareness of food safety and extension and support from the government. A number of possible methods to encourage the adoption of the HACCP system by the Chinese food industry can be identified from this empirical study.

This article discusses the nature and role of Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) as a food safety control system and, in particular, its role as an element of public food safety regulation. The notion of efficiency in food safety regulation is discussed and related to the nature of food safety controls. It is suggested that, if appropriately applied, HACCP is a more economically efficient approach to food safety regulation than command and control (CAC) interventions. The economic implications of HACCP are discussed with reference to estimates of the costs and benefits, in particular for the food industry. Finally, the use of HACCP as an international trade standard and the facilitation of trade in processed food products is considered.

Peanuts are likely to be infested by fungi with consequent contamination by aflatoxin in post-harvest industries. A hazard analysis critical control point (HACCP) plan is proposed for a typical Brazilian post-harvest industry from raw in-shell reception to the unpeeled peanuts transportation. Codex Alimentarius Commission guidelines were followed, with four critical control points (CCP) for aflatoxin being identified. The process steps with highest probability of aflatoxin occurrence (risk) are the in-shell reception, the dried in-shell storage, and the unpeeled kernel storage. During the storage steps there is a lack of control of air moisture and temperature. Therefore, there is no option but to keep rigid monitoring and control over each CCP, and detour lots with high aflatoxin levels to either oil or seed production. Attempts to correlate the aflatoxin levels with the rainfall showed an irregular trend of the toxin level.

Formal pre-requisite programmes are increasingly and successfully used to support the implementation of HACCP in food processing. However, in many areas there is a lack of understanding of the pre-requisites concept, and even a fear in some sectors that pre-requisites might dilute the strength of HACCP, making it a less effective food safety control mechanism. This paper explores the concept of pre-requisite programmes and discusses whether they are of benefit to the HACCP approach or whether food safety is best managed through the HACCP plan alone, concluding that they are an essential element in the task of developing simple, effective HACCP systems

There is worldwide evaluation and reorganization of food inspection and control systems geared towards improving efficiencies, rationalizing human resources and introducing risk analysis-based approaches. The HACCP principles play a pivotal role in these preventive approaches. Their application is a responsibility of the food industry, whereas government control agencies are responsible for monitoring and assessing their proper implementation. This paper reviews some of the issues pertinent to HACCP assessment, namely its purpose, activities involved, frequency of assessment, HACCP approval/certification, qualifications and training of assessors. It is based on the experience of the author in training and assisting industry and government agencies in implementing HACCP-based quality systems, especially in developing countries, where food export has a major impact on the national economies.

Purpose The main objective of this paper is to examine the existing literature on food safety assurance systems and record the vital critical factors that affect the implementation of these systems, in the context of the global food‐processing sector, for the benefit of researchers and industries. Design/methodology/approach A range of published (1995‐2008) articles on food safety is explored that lists the motives for and the barriers to the implementation of the Hazard Analysis of Critical Control Point plan in descending order of frequency of occurrences. The barriers and motives in this study are referred to as "critical factors of effective implementation" (CFEIs). In addition, the Pareto analysis quality tool was used to sort and arrange the above‐mentioned barriers to and motives for CFEIs of the HACCP system implementation according to their order of criticality. Findings The examination and analysis of 31 studies resulted in the identification of 32 factors that affect HACCP implementation. Difficulties exist in managing such a large number of factors in organisations; hence a few vital CFEIs are identified and reported herein, such as the most significant for the HACCP implementation. Practical implications The present study will direct researchers in selecting a more reliable and critical set of CFEIs that will be used in further empirical studies and may help to develop models which measure and sustain the level of performance on safety systems in industries. Industries can also benefit by adopting the results of this study, resulting in a more effective implementation of food safety and quality systems. Originality/value This paper highlights and prioritises the difficulties hitherto faced by food companies in the effective implementation of food safety systems. The results of this study will help in a smoother and more effective penetration of food safety and quality systems in food organisations.

Food quality assurance systems of one sort or another are necessary at every segment of the food chain and in every sector of the food industry to ensure the quality and safety of food. On the one hand governments have the responsibility of establishing the standards, legislation and enforcement programs necessary to control food quality and safety. On the other hand industry has the responsibility on implementing quality assurance systems, including HACCP, where necessary to ensure compliance with the standards and legislation.

The present study estimates the costs of development, implementation and operation of a HACCP and prerequisite programs in an airline catering establishment. The development of HACCP system was assigned to a consultant. The preparation of the company to install the system took place over a period of 5 years. The cost was affected by the existing hygienic status and the size of the establishment, the complexity of the operation, the number and the experience of employees involved. In the initial stages, the implementation of the HACCP system requires additional resources, technical support facilities and financial inputs to improve the GHP prerequisites. Investments were made on purchase of temperature monitoring devices and other equipment to maintain raw materials and final prepared meals in proper temperatures. The total cost was divided in development (€23,017.25), installation (€108,693.41), certification cost (€6000.00) and, operational-maintenance cost (€71,520.00). It was concluded that in every meal the cost of the system was an additional €0.01.
