- 0:05some statistics and this in
- 0:06in this case it's american statistics us
- 0:09every year from 10 to 83 billion
- 0:13dollars and the billion has nine zeros
- 0:15which is massive number
- 0:17are wasted in the economy i use
- 0:20american statistics because the numbers
- 0:22are
- 0:24very very big and considerable
- 0:27and these are contributed by mainly food
- 0:31waste
- 0:32so the reality is that
- 0:36what we produce on on this planet
- 0:40the the hundred percent of food that is
- 0:42produced
- 0:43about 40 percent of it is literally
- 0:46wasted
- 0:47so we we make it grow we produce it pack
- 0:50it
- 0:50ship it to wherever it has to go and
- 0:52then it ends up in the
- 0:54rubbish the logic is like
- 0:57having a farm with a hundred cows you
- 1:00kill
- 1:00you kill all of them so that you you
- 1:02sell all of them but 50 of them you
- 1:04don't you don't literally sell them you
- 1:06just leave them there
- 1:07rotten the sun and you make no good of
- 1:11them
- 1:12so that is what's happening right now on
- 1:15this planet we are all contributors to
- 1:17it
- 1:18by buying without thinking by not
- 1:22using good logic when when when
- 1:26preparing our meals at home like
- 1:29using whatever whatever you like and
- 1:31leave the rest in the fridge
- 1:33and when you discover them you just say
- 1:35well this is beyond the date so i'm
- 1:36gonna just throw it away
- 1:39also when we go to eat in buffets
- 1:43you see people going to eat in buffets
- 1:45and they
- 1:46tend to fill their plates beyond
- 1:49whatever they can eat in the next two or
- 1:51three days
- 1:52and some people one challenge they would
- 1:54say
- 1:55it's my right i paid for it i can take
- 1:58as much as i want
- 1:59and that is partially true but
- 2:04can you really afford to waste okay is
- 2:06there a price that
- 2:08makes it okay to waste food i would say
- 2:11no
- 2:12if you have paid the price to be able to
- 2:16eat as much as you want that's okay
- 2:18eat as much as you want but not waste as
- 2:21much as you want it's not the same
- 2:23and it's killing our planet this
- 2:26mentality is killing
- 2:27our planet we have to change our ways
- 2:30next in line people who are
- 2:33working on a job and they end up sick
- 2:36imagine you have a team of 10 people who
- 2:38do
- 2:39the production and you need to be all
- 2:40ten to have a good production quality
- 2:43production but six of you are sick
- 2:46you can't really do the same
- 2:48productivity if
- 2:50anything because in some cases you won't
- 2:53be able to do anything if there is at
- 2:55least one missing from the line
- 2:57so productivity will go low imagine
- 3:00having a bad reputation with customers
- 3:04only marketing people can tell you how
- 3:05much
- 3:07money is is injected into marketing and
- 3:11advertisement only
- 3:15to be ruined in some cases by employees
- 3:18who do not really
- 3:19give enough importance to their
- 3:22processes and make the product unsafe
- 3:26people who end up in hospital in some
- 3:29cases
- 3:30people go to hospital for one night
- 3:32because of food poisonings
- 3:34other cases people go to hospitals for
- 3:37longer periods
- 3:38when i ask my attendees
- 3:42what people come to mind when i talk
- 3:45about the hospital
- 3:46in many cases they mention nurses and
- 3:48doctors
- 3:49that's the first two people that come to
- 3:51mind but
- 3:52they forget about a lot of other people
- 3:55when just
- 3:56stopping with nurses there are cleaners
- 3:59people with purchasing
- 4:01marketing people so that they make us
- 4:04feel safe when they go there
- 4:06engineers checking that the machinery is
- 4:09working well
- 4:10people who do sterilization everything
- 4:13that
- 4:14gets used in an operation has to be
- 4:16sterilized so that it doesn't affect the
- 4:18person doing the
- 4:20the operation and many many others
- 4:24last time i checked if a person spends
- 4:2824 hours in the icu intensive care
- 4:33unit uh the hospital
- 4:36that will cost the hospital about 3500
- 4:40euros so
- 4:41it's a lot of money every bed
- 4:44every 24 hours it's not just
- 4:48nurses and doctors there so that
- 4:50contributes to
- 4:52that sum there cancellation of flights
- 4:56and vacations
- 4:59imagine tomorrow i have a business trip
- 5:02i will be going to london
- 5:06to sign a contract to become an auditor
- 5:08there
- 5:09and before we go my family and i
- 5:12go to eat out to celebrate this new
- 5:14venture in life
- 5:16and the food we've just ate was not well
- 5:19made
- 5:20and we end up in hospital all of us
- 5:23and me in particular i will spend
- 5:27two three weeks there so i have missed
- 5:29my flights
- 5:30missed my bookings missed my appointment
- 5:33with this
- 5:34auditing firm i missed my opportunity to
- 5:36do this business
- 5:38so i missed a lot of stuff which costed
- 5:40me money
- 5:41and as soon as i go out of the hospital
- 5:44i say
- 5:45i'm thankful that i'm still alive but
- 5:47i'm gonna call my lawyer
- 5:49and i call my lawyer to the restaurant
- 5:52i ate from and that will compensate for
- 5:59a big part of also that sum there
- 6:02considering this is u.s the legal fees
- 6:04and compensations
- 6:05are much bigger than we're used to here
- 6:08in
- 6:09in malta finally but
- 6:12not least important 5 200 deaths
- 6:17in america 5200 that's happen every year
- 6:20more or less and that doesn't include
- 6:24shootings drive-bys rapes drug
- 6:27related deaths those are only that's
- 6:30related
- 6:30to food poisonings
- 6:35okay you might tell me but there are 360
- 6:38million people
- 6:39or so in america 5 000 is a really
- 6:42really
- 6:43small percentage but these are still
- 6:46people who had families
- 6:48and even one that would be
- 6:52a very i might say
- 6:56that that could have been avoided
- 7:00if it wasn't that related to disease
- 7:02would say okay we didn't have the means
- 7:04to avoid it but
- 7:05food safety related debts can almost
- 7:09be avoided 100 so
- 7:12those are all negligible
- 7:16because of negligence not negligible
- 7:19because of negligence
- 7:21these debts are all related to
- 7:23negligence
- 7:29because of the importance of food safety
- 7:32as you now can understand
- 7:33because people die there are a lot of
- 7:36laws
- 7:37nowadays you can become a food lawyer
- 7:40specifically
- 7:41on food law and i'm going to mention a
- 7:44few laws here on the screen
- 7:46during this trade this training
- 7:50i'm not going to mention all of them
- 7:51just a few
- 7:53codex elementaries it's in latin
- 7:56codex means guide elementaries means
- 7:58food it's a food guide
- 8:00this is not law however as soon as 852
- 8:03came out
- 8:05852 to european law 852 mentioned the
- 8:09part of codex
- 8:10and specified that
- 8:13that part is now required by law so part
- 8:16of codex has become
- 8:17law this is the 852 is the law about
- 8:21food safety and food hygiene
- 8:23legal notice 180 this is maltese law it
- 8:26is
- 8:27the law that regulates food outlets
- 8:29imagine there is no
- 8:30laws regulating food outlets everyone
- 8:33would be opening
- 8:34shops in every corner they think they
- 8:37can
- 8:37sell but the number of people dying
- 8:39would go
- 8:41very very high
- 8:45moral legal everyone working in the
- 8:49food industry has both of these
- 8:52responsibilities
- 8:53and as i said earlier
- 8:56looking at only the legal aspect will
- 8:59sometimes
- 9:00leave out part of the moral aspect so we
- 9:03have to look at
- 9:03both of these scenarios to do a good job
- 9:07ask yourself
- 9:08is this right or is this wrong if you're
- 9:10in doubt ask
- 9:12a person who can answer you better
- 9:14supervisor a manager a consultant
- 9:16whoever can help you
- 9:21this is one hot question in case of a
- 9:23vote poisoning
- 9:24who is responsible for the poisoning
- 9:27itself
- 9:29as mentioned already you can't really
- 9:32say there's not a fine line would say
- 9:33okay if you've done this
- 9:34you're responsible if you've done that
- 9:36the owner is responsible in many cases
- 9:39everyone will be considered as
- 9:41responsible
- 9:43for the case for the incident that took
- 9:47place
- 9:48it depends on very much specifics
- 9:51if we could swab people and that swab is
- 9:54like a long
- 9:55cotton bud and we say okay you employees
- 9:58are going to get swabbed
- 9:59and on one of the swabs i find
- 10:02a bacteria which makes people sick
- 10:06and it's the same type of bacteria that
- 10:08made the customer sick
- 10:11probably that link will help
- 10:15the investigation go focused on that
- 10:18person but it doesn't mean he's the only
- 10:20one
- 10:21who would be responsible so i can't
- 10:24really say
- 10:25it's one side everyone has to feel that
- 10:27they are responsible for
- 10:30what they do and they need to know how
- 10:32to explain themselves
- 10:34about what they do to prevent incidents
- 10:36of this sort
- 10:37from taking place if you fail to know
- 10:40how
- 10:41then you would be in a weak position
- 10:48this word here actually these two words
- 10:51do
- 10:52diligence that is what i've just said
- 10:56in a nutshell being responsible doing
- 10:59what is necessary
- 11:00to prevent it's not
- 11:04fixing an incident it's trying to
- 11:06prevent it that is due diligence the
- 11:08opposite of it
- 11:09is negligence doing nothing to prevent
- 11:13it because you don't care
- 11:15if a person involved has found guilty
- 11:17that with negligence
- 11:18they caused harm or killed someone
- 11:21you can be fined up to 12 000 euros and
- 11:24or five years in prison
- 11:28i'd known i do not know of any case that
- 11:31landed someone in prison but yes
- 11:34fines do get issued when they are
- 11:38necessary so our enforcement units
- 11:42are doing their job and from the trends
- 11:46of it
- 11:46they're increasing their investigative
- 11:50powers so that they could do a better
- 11:53job
- 11:54there's a lot of room for improvement
- 11:56but we're going we're moving forward
- 11:58we're progressing
- 12:00and anyone who is doing business
- 12:02responsibly
- 12:04and listening to this will enjoy
- 12:06listening to this because
- 12:08the only people who do not like
- 12:11enforcement are the people who are
- 12:13taking shortcuts people who are working
- 12:15diligently
- 12:16would want to know that other people are
- 12:18being fined
- 12:19for their mis misdemeanors or or or
- 12:23having their kitchens closed for
- 12:25their misdemeanors because you can't
- 12:26compete
- 12:28with businesses who are priority
- 12:32and take shortcuts you can never compete
- 12:34so the only way to be
- 12:35on a level playing field is to have a
- 12:37good enforcement
- 12:39and everyone observing the right rules
- 12:41every time
- 12:44a chain is as strong as its weakest link
- 12:48this is mentioned many times in
- 12:51management
- 12:52and food safety is also management under
- 12:56a shade of management and
- 12:59it applies to a team who is working in a
- 13:02kitchen
- 13:04if one of the team members is a weak
- 13:06link
- 13:08let's say all 15 people are diligent and
- 13:11responsible and do what's necessary
- 13:13but one the chef is irresponsible for
- 13:17example
- 13:18or whoever is preparing part of the
- 13:21part of the process doesn't need to be a
- 13:24top chef can be someone who is
- 13:26middle middle in the chain of command
- 13:30if that person does the wrong wrong
- 13:33thing
- 13:34the problem will be carried along and
- 13:37the first victim will be the consumer
- 13:40then the business so
- 13:41never accept to have a weak link
- 13:45in your team unless you are do we click
