Food Safety Trends Philippines Magazine explores the significance of implementing a food safety management system along with its challenges, and the resources needed to implement, maintain, and improve the FSMS. Further, it tackles how the implementation of food safety rules and regulations would affect one’s business, and to a larger extent, the Philippine industry. As part of this process, critical factors that influence the success and failure of an integrated FSMS are highlighted in this issue such as supplier verification program, allergen management, pest management, and the incorporation of the role of the now very powerful social media.
