The Accreditation and Development Plans of HACCP Chain System for Lactic Acid Bacteria Products

HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) has been receiving a worldwide recognition as a scientific and systemic sanitary management technology in the food safety. At present, mandatory HACCP for dairy products is applied in dairy processing plants and milk collection stage, while it is not applied in dairy farm and transportation. Therefore, it is required to establish HACCP application in all dairy industrial areas. The purpose of this study is to suggest an effective approach to implement HACCP chain system in domestic dairy products. Most lactic acid bacteria has been useful to improve gastrointestinal disorders such as diarrhea, constipation and reduce colon cancer risk and hydrocholesterol in Korea. The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety has increasingly applied the HACCP-chain system to secure the safety of livestock products. Therefore, we suggest for the introduction of HACCP chain system in the dairy industry as follows. First, the system needs political support to activate. Second, the enterprise needs to recognize that it is essential system in an era of a consumer. Third, it should be utilized as an effective tool to enhance a brand value in the market. If there are obstacles in the implementation process for dairy products, governments, academia and relevant institutions should resolve a dispute together, which might enhance the level of livestock processing industry and hygiene safety management.
