A study on food safety approach for seafood Eco-label chain of custody on food safety approach for seafood Eco-label chain of custody : Focused on Requirement Analysis by AHPMethod
The purpose of this study is to find food safety approach in the Eco-label Chain of Custody(CoC) which is only focused to traceability. Because, consumers want to be assured the certified seafood comes from sustainable fishery as well as hygienic. In order to this approach, we used Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP) method as belows. We first understood the CoC criteria for using pair-wise comparison and analyzed and selected each Eco-label certifications and standards. Second, we carried out a survey to the targeted standard Marine Stewardship Council(MSC) CoC auditors all over the world and analyzed the priorities of food safety approach to 4 principles and 12 criteria belong the MSC CoC Standard. As the results, we found out that‘Management System’has the highest priority in the principles and ‘.Documentation’and‘Keeping Record’are the most important criteria for this approach. In addition, ‘.Training’and‘Identification’are also higher priority of criteria. So, we suggested food safety approach method for improvement of these criteria in conclusion based on discussion with specialist in this field.
