Food Safety And Quality Control

Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Engineering ManagementFOOD SAFETY AND QUALITY CONTROL: Evaluating current quality control processes and developing new methods to ensure that all products meet or exceed food safety standards and regulationsDissertation submitted as a part of the requirements for the M.Sc. Degree in Engineering Management ACKNOWLEDGEMENTI thank my project mentor, Dr. James Stone, for his valuable support and guidance for my dissertation. I would also like to thank the staff at Aston University for their valuable insights during every part of my study.Finally, my family—most importantly, my lovely wife, daughter and parents—could not be left behind in their dedicated effort to make this a reality. Their belief helped me keep my spirits high and remain motivated during this process. ABSTRACTThis study highlights the integration of staff training, artificial intelligence (AI), and blockchain technology to enhance food safety and quality. The research demonstrates that this integration can lead to a 70% reduction in product recalls, 20% faster outbreak investigations, 40% improvement in problem resolution, 15% decrease in operational costs, and a 30% reduction in sanitation protocol violations. These findings are supported by real-world data, case
