Improving the quality of domestic products was discussed at the International RUSSIA EXPO
Problems
and ways of development of the food industry, issues of application of Russian
and international standards in the field of intellectual property were
discussed by the participants of the sessions of the International Forum
"World Quality Day in Russia", which were held at the International
RUSSIA EXPO.
"Russia
has created one of the most modern and flexible regulatory and methodological
base in the field of quality and safety of food products. But there are still
certain difficulties at the stage of implementation of these regulations. The
existing laws, for example, exempt new enterprises from inspections for three
years. And some managers, having worked for three years, simply re-register
enterprises, and, taking advantage of this, allow violations", - Victor Tutelyan,
scientific director of FSBI "FRS Nutrition and Biotechnology pointed out one of the important problems of the food industry.
According
to him, the solution to this situation should be the return of external state
audit, which would force the managers of enterprises to comply with the law and
quality requirements.
In October
2023, the Center of Competence in the field of food products of RusQuality
(Roskachevo) was established. The task of the Center is to convey information
about the practice of compliance with the principles of the HACCP quality
standard at enterprises to business in the simplest language possible, to help
organizations develop and implement this system not on paper, but in practice,
as well as to train internal and external experts in food safety issues in
Russia.
Furthermore,
the food industry is still faced with the problem of staff shortage due to the
fact that the education system does not have time to train the required number
of qualified technologists. This, in turn, hinders the successful
implementation of the modern HACCP quality standard at enterprises, which is of
particular importance for ensuring the safety of food products.
