Global perspectives on food safety and quality control standards: a comprehensive review
Open accessAbstract
Food safety and quality control standards are vital for ensuring the safety and integrity of the global food supply chain. This review explores the key frameworks and regulations that govern food safety, emphasizing the critical roles of various stakeholders, including regulatory agencies, food manufacturers, and consumers. Key methodologies such as Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) are examined to demonstrate their effectiveness in identifying and mitigating risks associated with foodborne illnesses. Additionally, the role of International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards in promoting consistency and accountability across food industries is discussed. The importance of traceability and rigorous testing protocols play key role in enhancing consumer confidence and ensuring product quality. Emerging challenges such as globalization, technological advancements, and environmental sustainability are addressed, underscoring the need for adaptive and innovative approaches in food safety practices. By analyzing current standards and the interplay between regulatory compliance and industry practices, this review aims to offer insights into improving food safety and quality control measures. Ultimately, fostering a culture of safety and quality not only protects public health but also enhances consumer trust and supports the sustainability of food systems worldwide.

The microalgae-based food industry faces structural and economic challenges including high production costs, limited scalability of photobioreactors, variability in biomass composition depending on strain and cultivation conditions, and need for harmonized regulatory frameworks across regions.
“Some of these challenges include high production costs in the cultivation and processing stages, the limited scalability of cultivation systems such as photobioreactors, the variability in biomass composition that largely depends on the strain and cultivation conditions, and the need for the implementation of harmonized regulatory frameworks across regions (Jacob-Lopes and Zepka, 2023; Kathuria et”

The Purpose of the Study section calls for harmonized food-safety standards across regions, supporting the regulatory portion in a general sense. The cited paper does not connect that need to microalgae or address microalgae production costs, photobioreactor scalability, or strain- and cultivation-dependent biomass composition (searched: microalgae, photobioreactors, production costs). No page numbers were provided in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.85)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredCompliance with food safety standards for novel foods includes adherence to GMP, HACCP, ISO 22000, and Regulation (EC) No. 852/2004.
“This includes adherence to good manufacturing practices (GMP), the implementation of hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP), and alignment with international standards such as ISO 22000 (Food Safety Management System) and Regulation (EC) No. 852/2004 on food hygiene (Zanatta et al., 2023; Kathuria et al., 2024; Precup et al., 2024).”
From Microalgae biotechnology and its role in sustainable and healthy food design (2025) · cites this paper as Kathuria et al., 2024
The “Major International Standards and Protocols” section identifies GMP, HACCP, and ISO 22000 as food-safety frameworks, and the “ISO 22000: Food Safety Management Systems” section explains how they relate. The cited paper does not address Regulation (EC) No. 852/2004 or establish this set of requirements specifically for novel foods (page numbers unavailable). (LLM, conf=0.88)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe production process of novel foods must comply with rigorous food safety standards.
“The second essential aspect concerns the production process of novel foods (NFs), which must comply with rigorous food safety standards.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
