CAFIA Reviews the Year 2009
Mar 9, 2010
The Czech Agriculture and Food Inspection Authority carried out more than 95 thousand of targeted inspections in 2009, thus 20 thousand controls more than previous year. This high accrual of controls is caused by further streamlining of control activities: simplification of administration connected with inspection, working out the risk analysis on the grounds of which the controls are carried out, fine-tuning of information system where all control data are saved etc.
Traditionally, the most inspections were carried out in retail chain (83,860 inspections) and at foodstuff producers (11,329), smaller numbers of inspections then concerned wholesale stores or transport. The second year the Czech Agriculture and Food Inspection Authority (CAFIA) also carried out a new type of official control, namely audit, whose aim is a complex examination of the system, by means of which a food business operator ensures food safety.
