A new era in food safety

As food safety and quality practices become increasingly important, a prominent international expert emphasizes that human factors and corporate culture are as critical as technical infrastructure. The Chartered Manager Fellow states that systems are only valuable when they are sustainable.

Büşra Bekar Toprak, stating that her projects have reduced customer complaints and increased trust, summarizes the priorities of the new era with the words, "Quality is no longer just a matter of certification." Data-based traceability, a security culture, and agile structures are among the focal points of the future. Combining academic knowledge with field experience, the expert has become a representative of this transformation through training and international congresses.

Büşra Bekar Toprak gives her young colleagues the message, "In addition to technical knowledge, think analytically, develop a vision, and be open to learning. Every crisis is an opportunity."

While it is emphasized that strong systems in the sector will only be possible with strong people, it is stated that food safety will now focus on sustainability rather than certification.
