Organization plans to upgrade inspectors’ capacity and expertise, designate the inspectors to specific businesses to satisfy client companies’ needs
KOLPHAS President Cho Gyu-dam
Korea Livestock Products HACCP Accreditation Service (KOLPHAS) devotes itself to securing the sanitation and safety of food products by taking a thorough look at and getting rid of hazards at all production stages, ranging from production of livestock products at the farm to people’s dinner table via distribution channels.
“We at KOLPHAS strive to enhance the quality of certification examination and ex post facto management of businesses with HACCP certificates to improve safety management of livestock products,” said KOLPHAS President Cho Gyu-dam.
To this end, inspectors’ capacity and expertise will be upgraded, and inspectors will be designated to specific businesses to satisfy client companies’ needs. KOLPHAS plans to beef up ex post facto management and monitoring via telephone to enhance client companies’ accreditation availability standards.
“Thorough prevention is the most important and easy method designed to ensure the safety of food products,” KOLPHAS President Cho said.
Last June 18, the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) announced steps to overhaul a system of controlling food poisonings related to school cafeteria food, including the introduction of the One-strike Out system in which businesses certified with HACCP found to violate any major safety management guidelines as “unsterilized” have their HACCP certification revoked.
