Food Defence and Food Fraud
(TACCP / VACCP)
4 HOURS
Food Fraud and Food Defence Training (TACCP/VACCP) explains the threats to our food chain.
Food Defence and Food Fraud has been around for over five years. Yet, it seems the food safety fraternity is still struggling with the two different concepts.
Food Defence is identifies and prevents an attack on your business.
BRC, SQF, FSSC22000 and each of the major retailers have significant supplier requirements to ensure the risks of food fraud and food defence have been identified and controlled.
Food Defence, think needles in strawberries, focuses on identifying potential threats to your business and how to prevent them.
Food Fraud focuses on the substitution of food and packaging for economic gain. Think normal honey being sold as Manuka honey.
Failure to defend your business or to identify food fraud can have a large impact upon your reputation.
QMS Audits have developed templates that have simplified the management of suppliers and their products while ensuring they fulfil SQF, BRC, FSSC22000 and retailer requirements.
As a class, we work through the concept giving you examples before conducting a risk analysis. This is based on the CARVER + SHOCK method. We work through the requirements of your GFSI standard to ensure you are able to satisfy the requirements prior to your audit and importantly to ensure your site is adequately protected.
