Quality assurance of food products

Food companies may use a set of procedures called quality assurance to ensure that the way their products are developed and produced complies with a set of requirements and standards. With an emphasis on the process chosen to develop the product, QA aims to prevent defects. Quality assurance can be a way to stop errors and flaws in manufactured goods and to prevent problems when providing goods or services to customers for safe food handling and packaging.
