Food fraud plan

The focus on food fraud, or product integrity, continues to grow. And with good reason: in addition to potential risks to public health, it can also seriously undermine consumer confidence when the information provided is incorrect. We carry out a VACCP assessment, analysing the vulnerabilities in your product chain. Based on this assessment, we establish appropriate measures together with you in a food fraud plan. We can also develop a preventive business continuity plan tailored to your organisation.

Vulnerability Assessment (VACCP)

To minimise the risk of food fraud within your organisation, it is important that you have a Vulnerability Assessment (VACCP) carried out. This VACCP inventory allows you to identify vulnerabilities in the production chain. Based on this, you can then determine appropriate measures in a food fraud plan. We are happy to support you in this.

Preventive business continuity plan

If your organisation becomes a victim of food fraud, it is crucial that operations can continue without disruption. By proactively establishing a business continuity plan, you can significantly limit the consequences of such incidents. Our experts are ready to support you in developing this plan, drawing on years of experience to ensure your organisation is well-prepared for any potential scenario.

Reliable support for a food fraud prevention plan

Our project managers will be happy to help you establish and implement, for example, a VACCP inventory, a food fraud prevention plan, or a business continuity plan. Whether on-site or remotely, we are at your service.

Measures

The plan will set out the measures, which will then be implemented and carried out. Possible measures to mitigate the risks include:

  • Implementing supplier audits

  • Analysing products, for example, analysing DNA in meat

  • Performing a mass balance. For example, it assesses whether the incoming and outgoing kilograms of biological product correspond.

Product Integrity Assessment (PIA)

Want to be sure that your food product has not been tampered with? Then choose the Product Integrity Assessment (PIA), developed by IFS and several major retailers. The aim of this integrity standard is to combat fraud and guarantee product integrity by increasing transparency within organizations and supply chains. The PIA assesses the structure and implementation of a manufacturer's integrity system. We would be happy to advise you on this.
