Sažetak
In EU countries and beyond, HACCP are legal requirements throughout the whole food supply chain. The fact is that HACCP effectively control only accidental contamination and do not recognize intentional contamination, which is now increasingly significant due to the increasing incidence of intentional contamination throughout the food supply chain. One of the main goals is to raise awareness of the importance of the food defense system. The basic difference between Food Defense and Food Safety is the fact that Food Safety refers to unintentional contamination, while Food Defense deals with the intentional contamination of the finished product, malicious contamination of poisons causing diseases and even death, sabotage of the supply chain leading to food shortages and misuse of food for terrorist or criminal purposes. In Europe, Food Defense requirements comes primarily from retail chains requiring the producer to be certified according to the standards of the food safety system, such as standards supported by the GFSI Initiative. Globally, an insufficient number of countries have incorporated Food Defence within their legal frameworks, unlike the United States where is the already becomes a part of legal regulation. The implementation of Food Defense in whole food supply chain based on risk assessment that provides the assessment of critical areas in the food supply chain is a vulnerability assessment. Each stakeholder develops his vulnerability assessment methodology or uses the published software’s. When assessing critical areas in the food supply chain, it is required to define the criteria for risk analysis. The criteria are most often based on the impact of threat on the health of consumers, potential social, economic and political consequences and the impact on the national economy. Various methods can be used to evaluate the risk reduction strategy and the risk acceptance decision. The basic parameters for implementing the risk matrix are the vulnerability of the subject and the availability of the assessment object. Food Defence contributes to the reduction of potential risks concerning the possibility of intentional food contamination. Application of the Food Defense is inevitable step towards the improvement and strengthening of the entire Food Safety System. In order to achieve the comprehensive functioning of Food Defense, efforts must be made to raise Food Defence awareness throughout the food supply chain, from field to fork, from government, state and academic institutions, retail chains, to the media and consumers, and incorporate into the legal regulation.
