FSMS in food industry discussions stands for:

• A. Food Safety Management System
• B. Food Storage Monitoring Schedule
• C. Federal Standard for Microbiological Safety
• D. Food Supply Management Scheme

Hint:

FSMS is essential for compliance with food safety regulations and ensuring the safe handling, preparation, and storage of food at every step of the food chain.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

FSMS stands for "Food Safety Management System." It is a structured approach that is implemented to ensure that food products are safe for consumption throughout the food supply chain. FSMS includes hazard analysis, risk assessment, and control measures to maintain food safety standards.
- Option (2) "Food Storage Monitoring Schedule" is incorrect as it refers to a process for monitoring food storage, not a system for food safety.
- Option (3) "Federal Standard for Microbiological Safety" does not match the meaning of FSMS. FSMS is not focused on federal standards, but on the safety management of food.
- Option (4) "Food Supply Management Scheme" is also incorrect, as FSMS is specifically about food safety, not food supply chain management.
Therefore, the correct answer is "Food Safety Management System."
