Extra resources may be needed during the primary stages of implementing Food Safety Plan. When considering the costs, it is important to take into account the long-term savings on end-product testing, greater safety assurance of products, improved corporate image, and higher business volume. Besides, implementing Food Safety Plan in phases can help members of staff to accustom themselves to the practice of the Food Safety Plan, and avoid a large investment at one time. In the long run, a Food Safety Plan helps to lower production cost (e.g. lowers cost of raw material wastage and product recall).

Traditional food management systems are reactive to food hazards. However, Food Safety Plan adopts a preventive approach to minimize food hazards, thus the occurrence of food poisoning. In addition, it also improves consumers' confidence in the products. In a long run, it lowers production cost by, for example, reducing raw material wastage and food recall.

Food Safety Plan is not just suitable for large food manufacturers. Even retail and food service organizations can apply the Food Safety Plan. You may refer to the booklet "How to Implement a Food Safety Plan" to see how it can be implemented.
