INTRODUCTION
The food system is a complex, concentrated, and dynamic chain of activities that
begins with the production of raw agricultural commodities on farms, orchards, and
ranches and moves to value-added processed and manufactured products and then to
retail food stores and food service establishments (restaurants and institutions) where
they are merchandised, prepared, and sold to consumers. Each sector of the food
system is unique in size, scope, and diversity and has evolved and adapted to changes
in demo graphics and lifestyles, science and technology, and consumer demands. To
more fully comprehend the role of sanitation and food safety in the food industry, it is
important to understand the uniqueness of each sector of the food system.
Declaration of Policy. – Section 15, Article II of the 1987 Philippine Constitution declares
that the State shall protect and promote the right to health of the people and instill
health consciousness among them. Furthermore, Section 9, Article XVI provides that
the State shall protect consumers from trade malpractices and from substandard or
hazardous products. Toward these ends, the State shall maintain a farm to fork food
safety regulatory system that ensures a high level of food safety, promotes fair trade
and advances the global competitiveness of Philippine foods and food products.
(a) Protect the public from food-borne and water-borne illnesses and unsanitary,
unwholesome, misbranded or adulterated foods;

Risk Management as Applied to Food Safety, Sanitation and Security 2020
(b) Enhance industry and consumer confidence in the food regulatory system; and
(c) Achieve economic growth and development by promoting fair trade practices and
sound regulatory foundation for domestic and international trade.
Towards the attainment of these objectives, the following measures shall be
implemented:
(1) Delineate and link the mandates and responsibilities of the government agencies
involved;
(2) Provide a mechanism for coordination and accountability in the implementation of
regulatory functions;
(3) Establish policies and programs for addressing food safety hazards and developing
appropriate standards and control measures;
(4) Strengthen the scientific basis of the regulatory system; and
(5) Upgrade the capability of farmers, fisher folk, industries, consumers and government
personnel in ensuring food safety.
Food Safety requirements ensure food safety by following the general guidelines.
The food business operator (FBO) and the regulatory agency must be knowledgeable
and take proper steps of the conditions under which food could become unsafe or
injurious to health.
The normal conditions of the use of food by the consumer maintained at each
stage of primary production, processing, handling, storage and distribution;
The health of plants and animals from where the food is derived;
The effect of feeds, crop protection chemicals and other production inputs on
otherwise healthy plants and animals; and
The information provided to the consumer. This includes the information provided
on the label or any information generally available to the consumer. This should
aid consumers in avoiding specific health effects from a particular food or
category of foods.
The DOH shall monitor the effects of food on the health of individuals and on
subsequent generations (e.g. non-communicable diseases, micronutrient
deficiencies).
In determining whether food is unfit for human consumption, regard shall be
given to the unacceptability of the food according to its intended use due to
contamination by extraneous matter or through putrefaction, deterioration or
decay;
Where unsafe food, is part of a batch, lot or consignment of food of the same
class or description, it shall be presumed that all food in that batch, lot or
consignment is also unsafe;
Occupational Safety Hazards in the Hospitality and Tourism Industry Property of URS
Risk Management as Applied to Food Safety, Sanitation and Security 2020
Food that complies with specific national law or regulations governing food safety
shall be deemed safe insofar as the aspects covered by national law and
regulations are concerned. However, imported food that is declared unsafe, by
the competent authority of the exporting country after entry into the country shall
be withdrawn from the market and distribution channels; and
Compliance of a food product with specific standards applicable to a specific food
shall not prohibit the competent authorities to take appropriate measures or to
impose restrictions on entry into the market or to require its withdrawal from the
market, where there is reason to suspect that such food product shows food
safety related risks.
Food safety does not happen by chance or accident. One must follow certain
steps and procedure in order to keep food safe. You have to plan, think and extra
attention on how to prepare food to ensure it is safe for consumption. A meal plan is
suggested to be done and followed. A detailed and good food safety plan will ensure
that your customer’s won’t get sick. A basic food safety plan uses the HACCP method.
HACCP stands for Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points. In the succeeding modules
you will learn about it.
You must adhere and understand that the food you serve to your customers is safe.
Developing and following a food safety plan is necessary. There are two types of food
safety plan: a process-based and recipe based. A process-based FSP is often used
when the same process is used for several different food items, or when menu items
change regularly, such as on a daily special sheet. For example, the process for
cooking pork chops and chicken breasts is very similar, as is the process for cooking
bacon and sausages. A process-based food safety plan for the station preparing these
items will ensure the steps to food safety are being followed.
Whether the FSP is process based or recipe based, the seven basic steps for creating
one are the same. This section leads you through these steps by using a basic recipe
and turning it into a food safety plan.

WORKPLACE SANITATION
A sanitation plan is important in any food service preparation area. It ensures that all
surfaces are cleaned on a regular basis and reduces the risks of transferring bacteria or
other pathogens from an unclean surface to clean equipment such as cutting boards or
tools. A sanitation plan has two components:
1. A list of cleaning and sanitizing agents or supplies with instructions on their safe
use and storage
2. A cleaning schedule, outlining how each item needs to be cleaned, who is
responsible, and how frequently it happens
Occupational Safety Hazards in the Hospitality and Tourism Industry Property of URS
Risk Management as Applied to Food Safety, Sanitation and Security 2020
Dishwashing Procedures
All equipment must be routinely cleaned and inspected. Older equipment may have
nooks and crannies where dirt and bacteria can hide, which can be difficult to clean
effectively. Proper cleaning procedures must be established and followed at all times
with regular review to ensure that procedures are working. If equipment is replaced or
cleaning materials change, the process may have to be adjusted. If you notice any
safety concerns with the equipment while cleaning it, such as a frayed cord, missing
guard or loose parts, let your supervisor know immediately.
