Sažetak
Food safety is one of the main goals in the food industry but current, among others, EU regulation still relies on the HACCP to effectively prevent accidental contamination. Yet, the present HACCP cannot be applied to intentional contamination. Intentional contamination is becoming increasingly significant and the main initiators for the implementation of the food defence system come from retail chains supported by the GFSI Initiative. Food defence is the missing link in the traditional Food Safety Management System. Food defence effectively manages intentional contamination, but for effective implementation, it is necessary to include all of the stakeholders. It is important to raise awareness of food defence throughout the entire food chain and the overall community at national and international level. The establishment of an educational program is essential for raising the awareness of all of the stakeholders. This also includes educational institutions, which should incorporate food defence in their curricula. Along with raising the awareness of the entire community, it is necessary to incorporate food defence into legal frameworks. Unfortunately, an insufficient number of countries have incorporated food defence into their regulations. The implementation of food defence in the food industry is based on risk assessments that detect critical areas in the food supply chain (vulnerability assessments). Each stakeholder develops his vulnerability assessment methodology or uses the prepared software. Raising awareness, effective education program through the Food Defence Plan that defines the principles and the implementation of the requirements contributes to the mitigation of intentional contamination. Food defence in the supply chain will gain greater importance with increasing the risk of intentional contamination along with potential motives like national, political, economic, business, personal, etc. For all these reasons, it is also necessary to incorporate food defence into legislation.
