"GLOBAL FOOD SAFETY: A CHALLENGE TO PHILIPPINE FOOD SMEs"

Awareness of food safety risks and opportunities, especially among food producers and consumers has been a growing concern in the global market such that efforts to address this was undertaken by the International Standards Organization (ISO). Thus ISO 22000:2005 or commonly known as Food Safety Management System, was formulated and approved in 2005 by the ISO members. FSMS is a global food safety management system standard that ensures that food products from the farm to the consumers do not cause adverse human health effects. It applies to all entities who are directly and indirectly involved in the food chain from the food growers to the product processors, handlers of all food and food ingredients and packaging distributors, storage providers, and up to when the food products are placed on the table of the consumers.

WELCOME TO PTTC

The Philippine Trade Training Center was established in 1987 by virtue of Executive Order No. 133 and with the official development assistance grant from the Government of Japan through JICA, to invigorate an export industry needed for the country’s economic recovery. It is an attached agency of the Department of Trade and Industry that assists exporters, would-be exporters, manufacturers and entrepreneurs to become more competitive in the international market through training.

In its 20th year of operations, PTTC envisions itself as an evolving and dynamic capability-building institution committed to satisfy the growing and changing needs of MSMEs. Thus, PTTC provides training and advisory services on entrepreneurship development, export management, quality and productivity improvement, e-business and e-commerce, as well as exhibition facilities for trade fairs and events.   more
