Pioneering Food Safety For Life: Uniting Food Professionals for a Healthier Tomorrow!!!! BFSI chose the benchmarking approach as there is existing Authority.
(2)

The goal is laid out at the very beginning and remains a compelling message: once certified by any agencies, recognised everywhere. With regards to the global context, The British Retail Consortium had already published their first BRC food safety standard in 1998. The German and French retailers were starting to work together on the International Food Standard (IFS) and the Food Marketing Institu

te, the Trade Association for the North American retailers, were developing their Safe Quality Food (SQF) Standard. The benchmarking model would credibly determine equivalency between food safety certification programmes, whilst leaving flexibility and choice in the marketplace. ToR:
• Identification and analysis of current legislative instruments and arrangements in Bangladesh designed to ensure safe and suitable foods for citizens (primarily undertaken through review of documents and discussions);
• Providing an analysis of perceived deficiencies and gaps in the current legislation addressing food safety and suitability (primarily through analysis of the relevant documents and consultations with the stakeholders and key informants);
• Preparation of an overview of selected international best practice legislative arrangements designed to ensure safe and suitable foods for consumers (primarily undertaken through review of documents and discussions with key informants);
• Making recommendations for amending or re-drafting legislative instruments in Bangladesh designed to ensure safe and suitable foods for citizens based on risk analysis and gap analysis; and
• Preparation of a plan for undertaking reform (as required) of the legislative system for food control, approval process and normal timelines. Bangladesh has laws and regulations to cover some areas, but the regulatory frameworks and implementation are still weak. In Bangladesh, multiple Ministries are involved in food control activities and their roles and responsibilities are not always clearly defined, and as such, there exist gaps and overlaps. Food safety in Bangladesh was earlier regulated by the Bangladesh Pure Food Ordinance, 1959 and the Bangladesh Pure Food Rules, 1967. The Pure Food Ordinance 1959 (amended) in 2005 is repealed by food safety Act 2013. Govt. has also promulgated a food Safety Rule 2014. Food Safety Act has enacted from Feb 01, 2015

BACKGROUND:

Bangladesh has laws and regulations to cover some areas, but the regulatory frameworks and implementation are still weak. In Bangladesh, multiple Ministries are involved in food control activities and their roles and responsibilities are not always clearly defined, and as such, there exist gaps and overlaps. Food safety in Bangladesh was earlier regulated by the Bangladesh Pure Food Ordinance, 1959 and the Bangladesh Pure Food Rules, 1967. The Pure Food Ordinance 1959 is repealed by food safety Act 2013. Food Safety Act has enacted from Feb 01, 2015.
