The food industry is the industrial sector that contributes the most to the gross domestic product in Spain. The success of these industries requires adequate direction and management, not only from the point of view of economic and financial aspects, but also from those related to the quality and safety of production processes and food.
The recent food alarms have aroused the highest concern in the population and demand for safety from producers, who, in turn, demand the supply of varied foods, easy to purchase and prepare, healthy and with a long shelf life.
