Real Time Food Safety Assurance

MODERN FOOD SAFETY DOES NOT NEED MORE AUDITS. IT NEEDS BETTER SYSTEM INTELLIGENCE. This book reveals why certification-driven assurance struggles to keep pace with today’s food systems — and how real-time learning, structured knowledge, and intelligent infrastructure restore control. Moving beyond compliance without abandoning it, the author offers a system- level perspective on resilience, assurance, and governance. For food safety professionals, regulators, and leaders who sense that the system must evolve — not because it is broken, but because the world has changed. Cornelis van Elst is a seasoned expert in food safety, automation, and compliance with 25+ years of experience in the field. He combines deep technical knowledge with practical insight into how food companies manage safety and quality in complex, regulated environments.
