SMEs and Food Safety in Europe
Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) represent an important proportion of food companies and are responsible for a relevant share of food consumed in Europe and in the rest of the world. Food safety is fundamental to the very survival of any food company, whether it is at the production, processing or retailing end of the business. Every operator in the food chain (food industry workers, supervisors and management) has a legal and moral responsibility to produce safe food. Several studies point out that many of the small food businesses still lack adequate food safety management programmes and do not meet the National or European Union requirements.
