Food Defense
Registration Deadline: April 29, 2019
Prerequisite
A good understanding and working knowledge of food safety management systems is essential.
Overview
Protecting your brand, your facility and your customers from intentional harm drives the requirement for a robust food defense plan. GFSI-benchmarked standards and FSMA require sites to have a food defense plan. A facility must first assess its vulnerabilities and then develop, implement and document a food defense plan to mitigate the risk of intentional adulteration. Learn how to conduct a vulnerability assessment and develop your food defense plan in this training program.
At the end of the program, you will be able to:
- Analyze the risks in your process and determine vulnerable areas in your operations
- Differentiate between Vulnerability Analysis and Critical Control Point (VACCP) and Threat Assessment and Critical Control Point (TACCP)
- Begin to document your food defense plan
- Develop and implement mitigation strategies to protect against intentional adulteration
