MODERN FOOD SAFETY DOES NOT NEED MORE AUDITS.

IT NEEDS BETTER SYSTEM INTELLIGENCE.

This book reveals why certification-driven assurance struggles to keep
pace with today’s food systems — and how real-time learning, structured
knowledge, and intelligent infrastructure restore control. Moving
beyond compliance without abandoning it, the author offers a system-
level perspective on resilience, assurance, and governance.

For food safety professionals, regulators, and leaders who sense that
the system must evolve — not because it is broken, but because the
world has changed.

Cornelis van Elst is a seasoned expert in food
safety, automation, and compliance with 25+
years of experience in the field. He combines
deep technical knowledge with practical insight
into how food companies manage safety and
quality in complex, regulated environments.
