The responsible person of a food business or retail outlet in the context of his or her personal responsibility has to ensure various tasks and obligations in order to implement food law provisions. With the latest revision of the Swiss food law and the modification to food law in the European Union, in particular regulations on food hygiene, the provision of self-regulation became concrete in articles 49-55 of the Swiss Regulation on food and commodities. Self-regulation covers the use of quality safety systems according to the HACCP concept, the securing of good manufacturing practices, traceability, and the obligation to withdraw or to recall unsafe food from the market.
