Who needs site security and food defense awareness?

According to BRCGS global standard issue 9, all staff do, including temporary staff and agency staff! Intentional adulteration can happen at any stage in the food supply chain and at your site too! While the likelihood of an attack is low, hopefully, the impact can be huge on public health, the brand, you food handlers and of course financial implications. That is why training the members of your food organisation on food defence will help them identify potential threats and vulnerabilities before it is too late.

Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) recognised certification programmes like BRCGS, SQF and FSSCC 22000 requires food professionals to be competent on the tasks they are responsible for. BRCGS Food Safety standards specifically ask for food defence awareness training. We suggest you enrol the following roles in this course as well as the Food Fraud Prevention Essentials e-learning:

  • Food handlers of exposed food
  • Team members working on steps identified as high risk by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) including liquid storage, mixing, blending,…
