Implementacija sustava i aplikacija softvera za monitoring sustava sigurnosti hrane u djelatnosti ugostiteljstva

In order to ensure a systematic and continuous monitoring of CPs and CCPs of the HACCP system in the hospitality sector – which ensures food safety – it is possible to provide support using information technology. In the case of a large number of devices (refrigeration and cooking equipment) spread across the entire facility, the proper solution is offered through the implementation of the system and application software equipment of the central monitoring system (CMS). The system equipment is realized via “novaPro” stations marked MASTER and Function Block Diagram programme. Application equipment consists of a control system, alerting on the monitoring level (ML), reports, AS (automatic stations) system, the ML chronology and the ML protection. Specification of software was created based on user requirements. Such a monitoring system will be presented in this paper. The advantages of the system are reflected in the continuous monitoring, in momentary identification of deviations from the current set of parameters, in establishing equipment failures, in facilitated documenting of parameters, and in the creation of a database that can be used for trend analysis and implementation of preventive actions, which affects the optimization of human resources.U cilju osiguravanja sustavnog i kontinuiranog nadzora KT i KKT HACCP sustava u djelatnosti ugostiteljstva, čime se osigurava sigurnost hrane, moguće je primijeniti informatičku podršku. U slučaju kada se radi o velikom broju uređaja (rashladne i termičke opreme) s velikom dislokacijom unutar cijelog objekta, odgovarajuće rješenje nudi se kroz uspostavu sistemske i aplikativne programske opreme centralnog nadzornog sustava (CNS). Sastoji se od sistemske i aplikativne programske opreme. Sistemska oprema postavljena je putem „novaPro“ stanica sa oznakom MASTER i Function Block Diagram programom. Aplikativnu opremu čine nadzorni sustav, alarmiranje na nadzornom nivou (NN), izvještaji, sustav AS-a (automatske stanice), kronologija na NN i zaštita na NN. Sastav programske opreme nastao je na temelju zahtjeva korisnika. Jedan takav sustav nadzora prikazati će se i u ovome radu. Prednosti sustava iskazuju se u kontinuiranom monitoringu, trenutnom prepoznavanju odstupanja od postavljenih parametara, ustanovljavanju kvarova opreme, olakšanom dokumentiranju parametara i stvaranju baze podataka koji se mogu iskoristiti za analizu trendova i provođenje preventivnih radnji, što utječe i na optimizaciju ljudskih resursa

Eficacia de los programas prerrequisitos en la industria cárnica determinados por la reivindicación del sistema FSSC 22000

Sustav upravljanja sigurnošću hranom i kvalitetom procesa i proizvoda – FSSC sustav prihvaćen je od strane Globalne inicijative za sigurnost hrane (Global Food Safety Initiative - GFSI). Objedinjuje zahtjeve norme ISO 22000:2005 Sustavi upravljanja sigurnošću hrane (Zahtjevi za svaku organizaciju u lancu hrane) i norme ISO/TS 22002-1:2009 Preduvjetni programi za sigurnost hrane. Nedovoljno definirani zahtjevi preduvjetnih programa u normi ISO 22000:2005 u potpunosti su kompenzirani učinkovitošću putem sustava FSSC 22000. Time dolazi do suradnje dobavljača/ proizvođača s vodećim međunarodnim trgovačkim lancima. Rad prikazuje iskustvo hrvatske tvrtke. Djelatnost obuhvaća klanje životinja i preradu mesa. Bazne sirovine su većim dijelom podrijetlom s farmi sestrinskih tvrtki iz Hrvatske, a manji dio iz uvoza. Program za praćenje poslovanja u potpunosti je kompjuteriziran. HACCP sustav u objektu implementiran je od 2005., dok je FSSC certificiran od strane akreditirane tvrtke 2013. godine. Težište nadzora je na operativnim preduvjetnim programima i kritičnim kontrolnim točkama, pripremljenosti i odgovornosti u hitnim situacijama kao i na trendovima u rezultatima audita i upravljanja nesukladnostima. Rezultat primjene FSSC 22000 vidljiv je u poboljšanju kvalitete i sigurnosti hrane uz istodobnu integraciju s drugim sustavima upravljanja i smanjenje operativnih troškova poslovanja. Sustav prezentira ispunjavanje i trajno poboljšavanje regulatornih zahtjeva i zahtjeva kupaca i potrošača.The Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) recognized the implementation of Food Safety System Certification (FSSC) competent for the management of systems for food safety, and process and product quality. The FSSC system integrates the requirements of the standard ISO 22000:2005 (Food safety management systems -- Requirements for any organization in the food chain) and the standard ISO/TS 22002-1:2009 (Prerequisite programmes on food safety). The insufficiently defined requirements of prerequisite programmes laid down within the ISO 22000:2005 have been fully compensated by the effectiveness ensured by the FSSC 22000 system. This leads to a greater cooperation between suppliers/manufacturers and leading international retail chains. This paper focused on the experience of Croatian companies. Observed activities included the slaughter of animals and meat processing. Examined base raw materials mainly originated from farms owned by Croatian subsidiaries, and, in smaller part, from import. Examined operations monitoring programmes were fully computerized. The HACCP tool was implemented in 2005, and the accredited company started awarding FSSC certifications in 2013. The focus of control included operational prerequisite programmes and critical control points, preparedness and responsibilities in emergency situations, as well as trends emerging from audit results and non-compliance management. The result of the FSSC 22000 application is reflected in improving the quality and safety of food, further integration with other management systems, and subsequent reduction of operating costs. The system enables the fulfilment and continuous improvement of regulatory requirements and demands of customers and consumers.Das Managementsystem für die Lebensmittelsicherheit und die Prozess- und Produktqualität FSSC wurde von der Globalen Initiative für die Leben­smittelsicherheit (eng. Global Food Safety Initiative - GFSI) anerkannt. Das System vereint die Normen ISO 22000:2005 Managementsysteme für die Lebensmittelsicherheit (Anforderungen an Organisationen in der Lebensmittelkette) und ISO/TS 22002-1:2009 Präventivprogramme für die Lebensmittelsicherheit. Die nicht ausreichend festgelegten Anforderungen der Präventivprogramme in der Norm ISO 22000:2005 werden durch die Wirksamkeit des Systems FSSC 22000 zur Gänze ausgeglichen. Dadurch wird die Zusammenarbeit zwischen den Lieferanten/Herstellern und den führenden Lebensmittelketten hergestellt. In der Arbeit werden die Erfahrungen einer kroatischen Firma dargestellt, die sich mit dem Tierschlachten und der Fleischverarbeitung befasst. Die grundlegenden Rohstoffe stammen vorwiegend aus Farmen kroatischer Tochterunternehmen; nur ein geringerer Anteil wird eingeführt. Das Programm für die Verfolgung der geschäftlichen Tätigkeit ist komplett computerisiert. Das HACCP-System wurde in 2005 im Gebäude implementiert, während das FSSC durch eine akkreditierte Firma in 2013 zertifiziert wurde. Schwerpunkt der Aufsicht sind die Präventivprogramme und die kritischen Kontrollpunkte, die Bereitschaft und Verantwortung in Notfällen, die Trends bei den Auditergebni­ssen und die Verwaltung von Unstimmigkeiten. Die Ergebnisse der Anwendung von FSSC 22000 spiegeln sich in der Steigerung der Qualität und der Lebensmittelsicherheit wider, bei gleichzeitiger Integration mit anderen Managementsystemen und einer Senkung der Betriebskosten. Das System repräsentiert die Erfüllung und kontinuierliche Verbesserung der gesetzlichen Anforderungen sowie der Kunden- und Verbraucheranforderungen.Il sistema di gestione della sicurezza alimentare e della qualità del processo e dei prodotti – sistema FSSC, è stato accolto da par­te dell’Iniziativa globale per la sicurezza alimentare (Global Food Safety Initiative - GFSI). Esso comprende i requisiti della norma ISO 22000:2005 Sistemi di gestione della sicurezza alimentare (Requisiti per ciascuna organizzazione nella catena alimentare) e della norma ISO/TS 22002-1:2009 Programmi di prerequisiti per la sicurezza alimentare. Le carenze di definizione dei programmi di prerequisiti di cui alla norma ISO 22000:2005 sono state completamente compensate dall’efficenza del sistema FSSC 22000, il che porta alla collaborazione del fornitore/produttore con le maggiori catene commerciali internazionali. Lo studio illustra l’esperienza delle aziende croate. L’attività comprende la macellazione degli animali e la lavorazione delle carni. Le materie prime provengono in prevalenza da aziende zootecniche di società sorelle con sede in Croazia, mentre una minor parte è im­portata. Il programma di monitoraggio della gestione aziendale è completamente computerizzato. Il sistema HACCP nella azienda è stato implementato a partire dal 2005, mentre il certificato FSSC, rilasciato da un’agenzia accreditata, è stato ottenuto nel 2013. Il fulcro dell’attività di monitoraggio s’è incentrato sui programmi operativi di prerequisiti e sui punti critici di controllo, sulla prontezza di reazione e la responsabilità nelle situazioni di crisi e sulle tendenze intrinseche ai risultati dell’audit e della gestione della compliance normativa. I risultati dell’applicazione del sistema FSSC 22000 sono ben visibili nel miglioramento della qualità e della sicurezza alimentare, con la contemporanea integrazione con gli altri sistemi di gestione e di riduzione delle spese operative di gestione. Il sistema mette in evidenza il soddisfacimento e il miglioramento permanente dei requisiti dettati dall’organo di regolamentazione e delle esigenze dei clienti e dei consumatori.El Sistema de Gestión de Seguridad Alimentaria y Calidad de Procesos y Productos – FSSC el sistema aceptado por la Iniciativa Global de Seguridad Alimentaria (inglés: Global Food Safety Initiative - GFSI).

Residues of Lindane in Adipose Tissue of Lambs and Sheep from Islands Krk and Cres

Concentrations of lindane from adipose tissue i.e. omentum of sheep from homesteads of island Krk that were treated with lindane, were compared with the concentrations of lindane measured in adipose tissue of non treated sheep from husbandry cooperative on island Cres. Evaluation of food safety for this samples were estimated by comparing obtained results and maximum tolerance concentration (MTC) for lindane (2.0 and 0.2 mg/kg). In treated lambs from Krk measured concentrations of lindane were in range from 0.0038 to 1.8644 mg/kg, and in treated sheep from 0.0094 to 1.646 mg/kg. In control group of lambs and sheep concentration of lindane was 0.0051 mg/kg. Estimation of food safety based on the results from this research are discussable, regarding the fact that MTC prescribed before year 2007 was 2.0 mg/kg. When the new law Regulations of MTC for residues of pesticides in food and animal feed (NN 119/07) came into the force prescribed MTC was 0.02 mg/kg. If food safety of sheep meat from Krk would be estimated based on latter, then 73.4% of samples of lamb meat and 80% of sheep meat could be proclaimed unsafe for human consumption. It is encouraging that after completion of using lindane in year 2005, levels of lindane in adipose tissue of lamb from Krk in year 2006 were under the concentration set by new legislate (< 0.02 mg/kg)

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons and Heavy Metals in Kostrena Coastal Area

The aim of this study was to determine pollution by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and heavy metals in seawater and sediment in Kostrena coastal area, as well as their toxicity using bioluminescence based tests. Total PAH concentration in seawater ranged 1.7-155.3 ng/L. The share of carcinogenetic PAH was relatively high, ranging 22–48.3%. Nickel concentrations in seawater were beyond detection limits (<0.1 mg/L), vanadium concentrations ranged 0.66–1.96 mg/L, chrome concentrations were beyond detection limits, and copper concentrations were also beyond detection limits or extremely low (up to 0.32 mg/L). EC50 values in seawater ranged 23.80–90.90 ng/L. Correlation between total PAH concentration and toxicity of seawater showed strong connection between them (r=0.9579). Total PAH concentration in marine sediment ranged 58.02–1116 mg/kg dry weight (d.w.). The share of carcinogenetic PAH was extremely high ranging 10–53%. Nickel concentrations in marine sediment ranged 8–24 mg/kg d.w., vanadium concentrations ranged 24–42 mg/kg d.w., chrome concentrations ranged 11–19 mg/kg d.w., and copper concentrations ranged 7–25 mg/kg d.w. EC50 values in marine sediment ranged 818–4596 mg/kg d.w. Correlation between total PAH concentration and toxicity of marine sediment showed weak connection between them (r=0.2590). Previous studies of seawater samples from areas of the Adriatic sea under the direct influence of oil industry did not include concentrations of heavy metals, which makes our study the first to present such comprehensive results. Our results point out the need for further evaluations and following of marine environment pollution and its consequences on living organisms and marine ecosystem in whole

Gender - specific differences in perception of menu labelling, witnessed among Hospitality Management students

Since nutrition labelling is obligatory for all packed food circulating across the European Union (EU), out-eating people demand, ever more often, to be provided with proper nutrition information on food they are eating through the restaurant menu. Given that, at present, no EU laws and regulations mandate nutritional menu labelling, this study aimed to explore a possible relationship between the perception of the need for menu and packed food labelling in a group of Hospitality Management students (n=324; out of which 84 men and 240 women). To that end, a comprehensive three-section questionnaire comprising demographic data, the perception of the need for menu labelling and questions about packed food labelling was developed. The perception of the need for menu labelling was assessed using a five-point Likert scale, the answers thereby scoring from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (fully agree). The students of both genders consider menu-delivered nutritional information important (3.59±0.95) for making healthier food choices (3.96±0.98) and achieving better caloric intake control (3.81±1.07). Health impact of menu labelling is more appreciated by female as compared to male students. Students did not perceive menu labelling as a significant cost for the restaurant management (2.67±1.17). The results confirmed that in students of both genders there exists a significant correlation between their habit of reading nutrition labels and a positive perception of menu labelling (p=0.001), the perception of menu labelling health impact (p<0.001) and the perception of menu labelling as a means to an end of better energy intake control (p<0.001). However, when it comes to energy value labelling, a significant correlation was seen solely among female students. The results of multiple regression analysis confirmed that, unlike male students, female students perceive food labelling as a strong predictor of menu labelling intention (nutrition label reading habit, β=0.17; p=0.008; energy value label reading habit, β =0.23; p<0.001. These findings suggest that hospitality managers could act as valuable promoters of this innovative foodservice approach

CHARACTERISTICS AND SPECIFICS OF FSSC 22000 APPLYING IN THE MEAT INDUSTRY

FSSC 22000 is an effective management system for food safety and quality of processes and products that has been accepted by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI). It encompasses the requirements of the ISO 22000:2005 Food Safety Management Standard - requirements for any organization in the food chain, and ISO/TS 22002-1:2009 Prerequisite programs on food safety. Insufficiently defined requirements of prerequisite programs of the ISO 22000:2005 have been fully compensated by this system. Moreover, it has a special significance for the realization of cooperation between the supplier/manufacturer and leading international retail chains since food safety presents a priority in their business. The aim of this paper is to present experience in the implementation of FSSC 22000 so as to highlight characteristics and specifics of its application in the meat industry. The emphasis has been placed on the control of the operational prerequisite programs and critical control points, preparedness and responsibility in emergency situations, trends in the results of auditing and non-conformities management, through the experience of the subject, consultants and auditors in the food business. The system has been successfully improved by defining responsibility, using resource management, planning and realization of products (with special emphasis put on the full scope of prerequisite programs, detailed hazard analysis, selection of the methodology of risk assessment and detection of operational prerequisite programs and critical control points), and identifying ways to validate and verify the system. This ultimately results in realization of the food safety objectives and the system certification by an accredited organization. The result of the application of FSSC 22000 is reflected in the improvement of food quality and safety with simultaneously integrating other management systems and reducing operating costs. The system presents fulfillment and continuous improvement of the regulatory requirements and demands of customers and consumers
