Due to the need to produce quality and safe food, the quality control programs emerged in Brazil since the 90s. These programs are formed by four major plans: Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures (SSOP) and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP). This literature review aims to determine whether the Brazilian legislation which rules quality control programs in slaughterhouse under federal inspection ensures the production of safe food. The study reveals significant changes in Brazilian law regarding the quality control in food production. Such changes can be evidenced in Circular 175/2005 Ministry of Agriculture (MAPA), which brought together the main programs in a single document and created the programs of self-control, in addition to shifting a formerly federal inspection responsibility of producing safe food on to industry. It was also identified that the Brazilian legislation and the corresponding literature have sufficient data on the implementation of quality programs, being evident that there was a pattern to be followed by companies to join the program of self-control. On this basis, food companies that follow federal legislation and conduct proper implementation of quality control programs ensure the production of safe food and enable marketing with other countries.
