Background: Food Safety Management System (FSMS) is known as a tool to manage the risks in production chain. First step in establishing this system is to observe the Prerequisite Programs (PRPs) including Good Manufacturing Procedure (GMP), Good Hygiene Procedure (GHP), Good Laboratory Procedure (GLP), Hazard Analytical Critical Control Point (HACCP), and International Standard Organization (ISO). These programs are used by Food and Drug Administration of Ministry of Health in Iran through a checklist named PRPs to investigate the food processing plants conditions. This research was conducted with the aim of evaluation of meat and can food processing plants based on the implementation of PRPs to establish FSMS in Isfahan, Iran.Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 33 meat and can processing plants were investigated by census method in Isfahan in 2016 and 2017. The evaluation of processing plants was performed based on four quality grades of A, B, C, and D after completion of PRPs checklist. Descriptive analysis and comparison were performed in SPSS software.Findings: 39.4% and 42.4% of meat and can processing plants of Isfahan City belonged to grade C with the most frequency, in 2016 and 2017, respectively. These processing plants were poor in observing HACCP and ISO principles. The increasing of PRPs score was observed in all processing plants in 2017 compared with 2016.Conclusion: Implementation of FSMS is possible through observing all PRPs principles. It is recommended to educate the quality control managers and technical experts of food processing plants on the importance of FSMS implementation in order to produce safe and healthy food products.
