| description | The countries establish and enforce food safety regulations to safeguard the health and well-being of their citizens worldwide. Iran has enacted a new regulation on food safety for expansion a national food safety control system and diminishing the national and international concerns. However, a rapid understanding of the management system is lacking in Iran. This study aimed to discuss the components of the food safety management system (FSMS) in Iran and present the weakness and strengths of the Iranian food monitoring structure. For this purpose, it was conducted a narrative review of articles referenced in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Irandoc, and the Iranian Scientific Information Database until February 1, 2024. Furthermore, it was included websites and review papers in Persian and English that describe strategies of national and international FSMS and protocols in different countries. It was concluded that there is a gap in the integrated tracking system throughout the food chain and a single organization responsible for monitoring the food chain to prevent parallelism. This study provides comprehensive suggestions and recommendations to improve the structure of the legislative organization to ensure safe and qualified foods to consumers in Iran. |
