Food Defense GuidelinesCompanies should develop a culture in which food defense is recognised as a high priority. Staff should be made aware of the risks and potential costs to your industry. Food defense will work only with the commitment of management and the cooperation of employees.
Terrorism awareness and preparedness are a significant part of our daily lives, especially since the attack that occurred on September 11, 2001. The food supply has been identified as a potential terrorist target.Bacteria, viruses, toxins, and chemicals can be used to intentionally contaminate foods. These agents can cause illness and death or may result in significant economic harm to individual firms and the food industry as a whole. Prevention is the key to reducing the risk of intentional contamination. Food processors and distributors are responsible for taking the necessary steps to ensure the safety of the food they provide.
What is a food defense plan?Food defense refers to the prevention of intentional attacks on the food supply chain. Food defense plans assess the risk of an attack and identify control measures to minimize the risks. All food processors and distributors should prepare a food defense plan specific to their product(s) and facility. Processors and distributors should review all components below and implement those measures appropriate for their facilities.
Implement a food defense plan / procedureIdentify responsible person(s) for developing and updating the food defense plan.Define roles and responsibilities for key staff.Conduct risk assessment to: Identify threats; Establish vulnerabilities and determine what should be protected; Identify measures to reduce risk; Review security measures and exercise/review security plans.
