Food Defence, TACCP and VACCP
Whether the threat is from internal or external malicious tampering or adulteration of ingredients i.e. food fraud, it is all addressed by an effective food defence plan. Food defence covers vulnerabilities throughout the entire supply chain; it is not just about site security. RQA offers a comprehensive modular approach to working with clients in the very important area of food defence.
We have been providing food defence training and consulting services for over 15 years and can:
- Train your team in food defence, TACCP and vulnerability assessment
- Assist you in developing your food defence plan
- Carry out an on-site food defence assessment
- Develop your threat assessment
- Develop your vulnerability assessment, with a focus on supply chain
- Test food defence protocols to identify weaknesses
Supply Chain Risk
Maintaining a resilient and reliable supply chain is paramount to upholding your food safety standards. However, the food industry faces unique risks, including fluctuating ingredient availability, contamination concerns, shifting regulatory standards, and transportation disruptions. RQA Group consultants can help your business be proactive with ensuring your approach to supply chain risk management, horizon scanning and supplier onboarding/maintenance is robust. We can also help you build a picture of the typical risks associated with specific ingredients in your products, so that you understand your individual risk profile.
