In today's dynamic economy, food safety is a significant public health issue for all governments and food handling organisations around the world. It is estimated that each year up to 30% of the world’s population suffers from some form of food-borne disease (WHO, 2007). As the global food supply chain is synchronising and is becoming more concise with global outreach of consumers and growing willingness to try new flavours. The concern of food safety is only growing grave roots. Further, with global challenges such as urbanisation, climate change and evolving dietary preferences. Food safety is the responsibility of every global food business entity. Enhancing food safety is crucial for ensuring consumer protection while strengthening customer confidence. Developing benchmark requirements of food safety systems for improved cost efficiency throughout the food supply chain. Global food supply is developing within a commercial environment with an aim to source ever-cheaper food i.e. to move production to the least costly provider. Quality management systems are designed primarily to ensure compliance with third-party and retailer standards. Eliminating food contamination for the sake of the government, business organisation and consumers is crucial. Now, the need to involve technology in food safety along with the existing food safety practices is not negotiable. Food safety management systems principally control the specific food safety hazards associated with the product and ensure compliance with food safety legislation. This paper focuses on the introduction of technological tools that can be amalgamated with existing food safety management systems for a more profound measure to eliminate even marginal risks towards food contamination while identifying the issues in organisational food safety management systems for producing safe, wholesome food.
