Identification of the risk factors associated with cheese production to implement the hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP) system on cheese farms

“…Assessment of the overall hygiene status on cheese farms by HAS survey can provide useful management data about whether cheese farms are improving or whether, despite still meeting legal requirements, they fail to maintain previously high standards (García and Jukes, 2008). The HAS survey score was designed by Carrascosa (2010) and has been adapted from the HAS survey score used in abattoirs in the United Kingdom (García and Jukes, 2008), and in food vending machines (Raposo et al, 2015) and breweries (Raposo et al, 2013) in Spain. It consists of 7 parts: (I) outside zone, evaluated by 5 questions; (II) inside zone, 10 questions; (III) utensils and equipment-maintenance, 7 questions; (IV) quality of raw and ready-to-eat food, 4 questions; (V) personal hygiene (employee's hygiene practices), 14 questions; (VI) cleaning and disinfection programs, 13 questions; (VII) cheese making, 8 questions; and (VIII) legal and administrative requirements, 3 questions.…”

Before Corona and After Corona as New Global Milestones in The Theory and Practice of Consumer Behaviour: Evidence from Vending Industry

“…x Hypothesis H1: COVID-19 pandemic has an impact on the perception of consumption and saving. The value of testing characteristic was calculated (6,2384). The critical testing characteristic was calculated through the Microsoft Excel, using the function NORMINV (0,05; 0; 1).…”

“…However, there are also others points of view beside this approach -character of application, payment mode and region are the most important ones. [6] Based on the application, the vending machine market is segmented into commercial places, offices, public places, and others. Office application accounts for the largest market share and will be the fastest-growing segment over the forecasted period.…”

The role of vending channels in marketing: A systematic review and taxonomy of studies

“…Similarly, in a study evaluating the hygienic‐sanitary risks involved in the consumption of foods and drinks from vending machines, Raposo et al . (2015) found the quality of vending products to satisfy the legal requirements but with some hygienic insufficiencies possibly due to incorrect transportation and storage temperatures. However, as water consumption from vending machines has been associated in some countries with high public health risks due to insufficient maintenance (Praveena et al ., 2018), cleaning methods have been elaborated to improve hygiene protocols of vending machines (Hall et al ., 2007 a ; 2007 b ).…”

“…First, the analyzed articles predominantly focused on consumer drinking behavior (i.e., issues related to the consumption of the milk, water, and hot drinks). The safety issues regarding snacking behavior have been covered by only one paper, which identifies some hygiene limitations in transportation and quality of the vended items (Raposo et al ., 2015). Thus, future studies could explore the entire supply chain process involved in the delivery of vending food items.…”
