To achieve this, standards are increasingly taking place within the business of organizations, to make business simpler, safer, and more secure. By applying and introducing standards, companies achieve continuous improvement of their performance as well as a competitive advantage.The aim of this paper is to present the standards for companies from the food industry and their supply chain. Knowing that the food industry is very specific in terms of safety and quality, a number of standards have been developed to prevent possible inconsistencies on this issue, which may affect human and animal health. All actors in the supply chain, and especially end users, demand that the products that reach them be safe, which gains trust in the organization. Organizations are increasingly introducing standards and systems that will enable the safety and quality of their products, after which improvements in the performance of the organization are realized.
