Area of Science:

  • Food safety and public health
  • Veterinary medicine
  • Environmental health

Context:

  • Defining "Quality", "Quality Assurance", and "Integration" is crucial for understanding factors affecting the "Health Triad" (people, animals, environment).
  • Consumer perception of quality varies among individual consumers, producers, manufacturers, and governments.
  • Traditional quality assurance strategies often create partnership-destructive environments by allowing responsibility shifting.

Purpose:

  • To analyze inhibiting and fostering factors of the "Health Triad" through the lens of integrated quality assurance.
  • To explore the concept of "Quality Assurance" as a continuum of responsibility and agreement along the food chain.
  • To define "Integrated Quality Assurance" as a mutual agreement between food chain partners on product characteristics and production methods.

Summary:

  • Integrated Quality Assurance involves mutual agreement among food chain partners (e.g., feed producers, farmers, veterinarians, processors) on product characteristics and production methods.
  • This approach encompasses essential system elements like facilities, materials, manpower, information, transport, and management.
  • Various quality assurance principles and procedures exist in agriculture and food processing, often complementing each other.

Impact:

  • Promotes cooperation and shared responsibility among partners in the food chain.
  • Overcomes the limitations of strategies that rely on distinct defense barriers.
  • Enhances the overall quality and safety of food products from "pasture to table".
