Abstract

Noodles are a practical food product that the people of Indonesia love. Many efforts to diversify noodle products by substituting non-gluten ingredients such as sago. The pilot plant of the Research Center for Appropriate Technology, Subang is one of the models for processing sago flour into dry noodle products fortified with anchovy flour. In its operation, it is necessary to apply the HACCP system. The HACCP identification study was conducted using the HACCP Plan Preparation Guide, with its preparation following the principles of the HACCP system recommended by the Codex Alimentarius Commission and Indonesian National Standards. The results of the study showed that the process stages set as CCP in the manufacture of anchovy flour is drying. In addition, the process stages set as CCP in making anchovy sago noodles is tempering. All of these CCPs must receive optimal supervision including adequate temperature and drying time of fish and environmental humidity.

Food safety in the 21st century

Fred Fung, Huei-Shyong Wang, Suresh Menon (2018)

Food is essential to life, hence food safety is a basic human right. Billons of people in the world are at risk of unsafe food. Many millions become sick while hundreds of thousand die yearly. The food chain starts from farm to fork/plate while challenges include microbial, chemical, personal and environmental hygiene. Historically, documented human tragedies and economic disasters due to consuming contaminated food occurred as a result of intentional or unintentional personal conduct and governmental failure to safeguard food quality and safety. While earlier incidents were mainly chemical contaminants, more recent outbreaks have been due to microbial agents. The Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) attributed to these agents are most devastating to children younger than 5 years of age, the elderly and the sick. To ensure food safety and to prevent unnecessary foodborne illnesses, rapid and accurate detection of pathogenic agents is essential. Culture-based tests are being substituted by faster and sensitive culture independent diagnostics including antigen-based assays and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) panels. Innovative technology such as Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) coupled with nanoparticles can detect multiple target microbial pathogens' DNA or proteins using nucleic acids, antibodies and other biomarkers assays analysis. The food producers, distributors, handlers and vendors bear primary responsibility while consumers must remain vigilant and literate. Government agencies must enforce food safety laws to safeguard public and individual health. Medical providers must remain passionate to prevent foodborne illnesses and may consider treating diseases with safe diet therapy under proper medical supervision. The intimate collaboration between all the stakeholders will ultimately ensure food safety in the 21st century.
