A quality and safety control system for China's dairy supply chain based on HACCP & GS1

In recent years, food safety accidents have frequently happened in China's dairy industry, which makes people have already lost their confidence in China's dairy market. Therefore, building a set of quality and safety control system to ensure the quality and safety of dairy products has become more and more urgent. As a systematic preventive method for food safety, HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) has been widely used in each link of the food supply chain. It could analyze and control safety hazards at every key point of the food supply chain. However, the information of these points in the different parts of the supply chain is isolated. In this paper, we propose a quality and safety control system of the dairy supply chain based on the combination of HACCP and GS1 (Global Standard 1). By using GS1, this system could connect all the HACCP points along the dairy supply chain, and implement information collecting, transferring, storing, checking, and sharing among the supply chain members, which could effectively improve the supply chain efficiency, and guarantee the quality and safety of dairy products.
