The Agency

A CHIPIA is a presidential advisory commission. It is created from Decree n °83 ofOctober 2005, under the dependency, at that time, of the Ministry GeneralSecretariat of the Presidency. Afterwards, in 2011, its administration anddependency passed to the hands of the Ministry of Agriculture, under SupremeDecree No. 162 of August 2011.

Its function is the identification, formulation and implementation ofpolicies, plans, programs, measures and other activities related to foodsafety and quality. For this, it leads the Domestic System of Food Safetyand Quality (SNICA), and serves as an instance of coordination amongagencies with competencies related to these matters. One of its mainfunctions is the formulation of the Domestic Policy on Food Safety andQuality, in addition to its implementation from instruments and thedevelopment of coordination and articulation instances

DOMESTIC FOOD SAFETY AND

QUALITY SYSTEM

International Organizations

ACHIPIA contributes to the reduction of food risks and hazards through theimplementation of the risk analysis process (PAR) that allows the provision of informationto risk advisers (MINSAL, SAG, SERNAPESCA).

Provides elements to incorporate the variable "food safety and quality" in the productive sector, academia, science and technology centers and Chilean territories.

Develops creative communication strategies that highlight the importance of food safety and quality in consumers lives.

Support to risk analysis

It is the area responsible of coordinating the implementation

of the Risk Analysis Process in the Domestic Food Safety and

Quality System.

It provides the information, tools, analysis and coordination

capacity needed for decision making; based on objective,

independent and scientific based information.

These tools were developed and organized under a risk analysis framework.

Risk Assessment Requests Prioritization 2018

8 risk assessments requests received in July 2018

1° Non-nutritive sweeteners in food without the "high in sugar“ front package label consumed by children in Chile

• Request of the Ministry of Health.• Food monitoring will be conducted to determine levels of non-

nutritive sweeteners in children's food ≤ 6 years. (December2018 by Ministry of Health).

• Consumption data were collected in 2011 through theDomestic Consumption Survey (ENCA) of the Ministry ofHealth.

• The results of the risk assessment will be used to makedecisions regarding a possible modification of the DomesticFood Regulation.

Microbiological Risk Assessment for SAG Export Raspberry Certification and Food Safety Program.

Risk Assessment of Noroviruses in Berries produced in Chile.

According to the results obtained, the risk of contamination ofNorovirus in our production system is very low, considering the packingof these products, both fresh and frozen, as the last stage evaluated.

The results obtained correspond to a series of recommendations aimed tomitigate the risk of microbiological contamination in the productive system andalso to refocus some measures of the control program based on risk.


Study of evisceration in origin v/s in fishing coves

This initiative arose on the need of the Ministry of Health to update theFood Sanitary Regulation on the matter. It was submitted to publictender and is currently in process of delivering results.

The Risk Analysis Process: Modificactions al RSA*

*RSA Sanitary Food Regulations

Proposed modification to improve the regulations on traceability, created through anInnova-CORFO project whose constituents were MINSAL, ACHIPIA and the TradeAssociation ChileAlimentos.

Modifications to the RSA promoted by ACHIPIA:

Proposal for the recognition of the definition of "food with functional or healthy properties", created through a project financed by the Strategic Investment Fund (FIE) of MINECON.


The process of risk analysis: main publications

The organisms with competencies in food safety (SAG, SERNAPESCA, MINSAL) are organizedfrom sectoral development visions. More coordination is required.

Prioritize logic of control on finished products over the prevention in the processes. Preventiveapproach is required -> Risk analysis

The organizations are corrective/reactive, with limited capacity to anticipate alerts and citizens'demands for transparency. Better and more coordinated communication of risks is required.

They have low density in the coordination of institutions and in the integration of publicpolicies, which has repercussions on redundancies and regulatory gaps, disputes overcompetencies, divergences and contradictions in the interpretation of standards and lack ofinformation exchange. More coordination is required.

Conclusions

InstrumentsDOMESTIC INTEGRATED PROGRAMS

PNIs are the formal articulation instrument between risk

assessment and risk management,

Its objective is to optimize the effectiveness and efficiency of

the Domestic Food Safety and Quality System, through the

articulation of risk management processes throughout the

food production and consumption chain.

Risk-based management

Risk assessment applied to risk management.

Linking PAR and the Promotion System and R&D

Motivation

• Food Safety Culture

• Focus on growers and their families

Characterization

• Risk based characterization

• Growers clasification based on risks

Close ofgaps

• Plan of measures for the group of producers according to classification

• Strong link with the promotion sector: Indap, Fosis and Sense.

Monitoring

• Quality assurance

• Reclassification of risk

INTERVENTION SCHEME BASED ON RISK WITH SECTORAL AND TERRITORIAL APPROACH

Project: Cheese producers at the Región Los Ríos (south)

Chile´s Action Plan against Antimicrobial resistance

• Collaboration Agreement between the Undersecretariat of Agriculture, National Fisheries and Aquaculture Service and Health Ministry.

• The relationship between the parties is formalized to initiate joint work to develop an Economic Plan of Action against Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR).

INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Its objective is to keep Chile in line with the international trends in food safety andquality. For this, it is related to international organizations and from other economies(government, academia, private, civil society, etc.)

COLLABORATION AGREEMENT BETWEEN ACHIPIA AND BfR

• On August 6, the collaboration agreement between BfR (Federal

Institute of Risk Assessment of Germany) and the Ministry of

Agriculture was signed, with the purpose of strengthening the

technical capabilities of ACHIPIA and the Domestic Food Safety

and Quality System in matters of risk analysis.

• BfR will support the ACHIPIA in risk assessments arising from

the PAR and other activities aimed at strengthening the

capacities of the Agency and the System. For example, seminars,

workshops and internships.
