Small and medium enteprises (SME's) play a crucial role in the manufacturing of food around the world. And not only in emerging and developing markets. Even in the European Union the food and drink industry accounts for more then 285.000 SME's what is 91 % of the total companies that are responsible for almost 50 % of the food and drink turnover (source: Food and Drink Europe). To ensure food safety in the food supply chain it is essential to ensure that also these smaller manufacturers and suppliers have an effective food safety system.
