Food Quality and control

The food industry deals with highly sensitive products. This is one of the key reasons behind maintaining quality standards and adhering to quality requirements, which are imperative for players in the food industry. When it comes to food items, most of us tend to repeatedly buy the same brand which we perceive is of good quality and matches our expectations. Also, in the case of companies in this industry, even a small incident where the quality of products has been compromised could tarnish the brand image. Consequently, the company’s profits could go crashing down the hill. This makes having appropriate quality control measures highly necessary for brands dealing in food products. Quality control (QC) is a reactive process and aims to identify and rectify the defects in finished products. It can be achieved by identifying and eliminating sources of quality problems to ensure customer’s requirements are continually met. It involves the inspection aspect of quality management and is typically the responsibility of a specific team tasked with testing products for defects.
