The Food Safety Certification Debate
This blog post has been moved to the author's eBook.
I agree 100% in relation to #8. We are our own judge for 99% of the time. A third party certification only fulfils the needs of the certifier and those (customers) who hold it as a means to confirm that certain standards have been met. On all other points I am somewhat split in my thinking but may lean slightly more toward for rather than against.
With the mounting evidence, it is tough to argue against the resolve that third party food safety certificates are useless. While the idea of having standards for measuring success is age-old and good, the certification direction is so superficial that it is somewhat fraudulent.
