FORC 22000:2012
The FORC 22000:2012 Food Safety Certification Scheme was developed by SA GAP specifically for the Food Outlets, Restaurant and Catering industry to enhance consumer confidence.
The FORC 22000:2012 Scheme is a world first and addresses the shortcomings of traditional Food Safety Standards which was not a good fit for this specific sector of the food industry.
An integrated approach was followed, incorporating specific food safety hazards associated with this sector and the requirements of the ISO 22000:2005 Food Safety Management System.
This Food Safety Management System addressed the following critical food safety issues which are unique to the restaurant and catering sector:
- Temperature, time, tolerance (TTT)
- Defrosting/Thawing
- Chilling
- Cross contamination
- Cooking/Par Cooking
- Hot holding
- Allergen declaration
-
Post-harvest chemical treatment
