RISK ASSESSMENT MATRIX FOR FOOD SAFTEY

In recent decades, the agri-food sector study has been based on the analysis of commodity exchanges, while in the current period it is replaced by the study of the product line, focusing on the agents involved in each phase of the chain, but also on the material operations that trigger these changes and highlight the tendency for more and more products not to reach the final consumer in their natural state, which are often processed. The foundation for the development of a viable society brings to the forefront the quality and safety of food and products marketed by any approved establishment. The new EU vision focuses on extending this concept across a country's borders, ultimately encompassing regional structures around the world. Therefore, the value of food across the European area will be the first in making decisions of any kind on compliance with food quality and safety standards. In view of the above-mentioned aspects, this paper aims to identify and analyze the risks in critical control points across the food chain so that they can be reduced to the minimum threshold
