Objective:
To increase the awareness of all food operators in the supply chain in the development of a “Food Hygiene and Reliability Culture” with the return to normal after the pandemic, to guide the selection of suppliers by the quality and reliability criteria in food, food contact materials, food-related services, and cleaning and disinfection chemicals, and to eliminate consumers’ doubts about the quality and reliability of foods served at out-of-home consumption points (such as restaurants, hotels, buffets, cafes).
Scope:
This guideline provides information on food, food contact materials, food-related services, and cleaning and disinfection products in the food supply chain and the suppliers and distribution processes of these products. If the suppliers producing and distributing these products have one of the Food Safety Management System certificates accepted by GFSI (Global Food Safety Initiative) or ISO 22000, and if the measures/protocols to be taken in crisis and emergencies (Covid-19 etc.) have been prepared by GGD on a sector basis (Food Production Facilities, For Mass Consumption Places, Shopping Malls, Logistics and Points of Sale), if it undertakes to apply it as specified in the “Guide for Combating COVID-19 and Hygiene” documents or if it has TSE’s Safe Production Certificate, it is considered to fully meet the requirements of this guide.
