ABSTRACT
Food safety is of paramount importance. Food safety management aims to minimize the risk associated with either biological, chemical, or physical hazards. In highthroughput manufacture, if a safety hazard is not detected and corrected somewhere in the production/supply chain, many consumers can be adversely affected. In the case of fruit juices, microbial or chemical contaminants affecting a small amount of raw material can be blended into a large batch and be distributed and consumed over a wide area (Bates et al. 2001).
