Balancing quality assurance with the pressure to minimize costs
The law dictates that consumers be protected from health hazards and exploitation, and therefore demands are placed on retailers not only to guarantee the safety of their products and to fulfill their own high standards of quality, but in the end, because consumers expect pure, unadulterated foods.

The necessity of documenting each step in the manufacturing process – starting at the beginning of production until the product reaches consumers – requires that food manufacturers monitor their raw materials, the production process and the finished, packaged goods in a careful and detailed manner. A circumspect and thorough quality control program is an essential tool in addressing and meeting these demands and requirements.
