Safety Risk Assessment and Improvement in a Food Production Process

The food industry is under pressure to improve food safety, implement efficient risk management, and control quality “from farm to fork.” During processing of raw materials into packaged consumable products, food may be influenced by biological and chemical pollution and other various environmental...

Description
Summary:The food industry is under pressure to improve food safety, implement efficient risk management, and control quality “from farm to fork.” During processing of raw materials into packaged consumable products, food may be influenced by biological and chemical pollution and other various environmental factors. Risk assessment of a food production process was studied in this work. The novelty of this work lies in analyzing the development laws of food safety risk in serial and parallel modes, and developing a heuristic algorithm of polynomial time to minimize safety risks in food production with a constant budget. This algorithm was validated by a numerical example of peanut milk production. The primary procedures in peanut milk production were found and the advice on investment allocation was given to improve production.
