Food safety refers to the assurance that food will

2013, President Benigno S. Aquino III signed into
law Republic Act (RA) No. 10611 otherwise known
as the “Food Safety Act of 2013”.
Article III Section 5. Food Safety Requirements
To ensure food safety, the following general
guidelines shall be observed:
Rule 5.1 Food safety requirements shall guide decision-
making on potential adverse health effects that may
occur from the consumption of the food and the need to
identify risk management options.

Rule 5.2 The food business operator (FBO) and the


regulatory agency shall take the necessary steps to be
knowledgeable of the conditions under which food could
become unsafe or injurious to health.
(a) In determ ining whether food is unsafe, the following shall
be considered:
(1) The normal conditions of the use of food by the consumer;
Rule 5a.1. Food shall be presented in accordance with their
intended use as provided for in the specific guidelines
developed and determined by the FSRA.
(2) The normal conditions maintained at each stage of primary
production, processing, handling, storage and distribution;
(3) The health of plants and animals from where the food is
derived;
(4) The effect of feeds, crop protection chemicals and other
production inputs on otherwise healthy plants and animals; and
(5) The information provided to the consumer. This includes
the information provided on the label or any information
generally available to the consumer. This should aid consumers
in avoiding specific health effects from a particular food or
category of foods.
Rule 5a.2 All information provided to consumers on food and
its preparation, such as during cooking demonstrations,
cooking shows, fresh and processed food product launching
and other similar activities, shall observe the requirements for
(b) In determining whether food is injurious to health, regard
shall be given to the following:

(1) The probable immediate, short-term or long-term effects


on subsequent generations of that food on health;
Rule 5b.1. The DOH shall monitor the effects of food on the
health of individuals and on subsequent generations (e.g. non-
communicable diseases, micronutrient deficiencies).

(2) The probable cumulative effects; and

(3) The particular health sensitivities of a specific category of


consumers where the food is intended for that category.
(c) In determining whether food is unfit for human consumption,
regard shall be given to the unacceptability of the food according to
its intended use due to contamination by extraneous matter or through
putrefaction, deterioration or decay;

(d) Where unsafe food, is part of a batch, lot or consignment of food


of the same class or
description, it shall be presumed that all food in that batch, lot or
consignment is also unsafe;

(e) Food that complies with specific national law or regulations


governing food safety shall be deemed safe insofar as the aspects
covered by national law and regulations are concerned. However,
imported food that is declared unsafe, by the competent authority of
the exporting country after entry into the country shall be withdrawn
from the market and distribution channels; and
(f) Compliance of a food product with specific standards
applicable to a specific food shall not prohibit the
competent authorities to take appropriate measures or to
impose restrictions on entry into the market or to require its
withdrawal from the market, where there is reason to
suspect that such food product shows food safety related
risks.

Rule 5f.1 FSRAs shall restrict entry into the market or


apply other measures to protect consumer health when food
meeting specific standards is subsequently found to be a
potential source of food safety related risks. The measures
shall be enforced until new scientific data are obtained
and/or after appropriate testing and inspection are carried
out to confirm safety of the food.
