SUMMARY: A structured approach to meeting the compliance requirement for VACCP (a Food Fraud Vulnerability Assessment and a Food Fraud Prevention Strategy.) This workshop builds upon the previous Food Fraud Overview Seminar and feeds into the Food Fraud Annual Update Workshop that follows.
Why Attend:
- Compliance: Complete a draft of the compliance requirements for a Food Fraud Vulnerability Assessment that covers all types of fraud and for all products.
- Compliance: Complete a draft of a Food Fraud Prevention Strategy.
- Become proficient in not only ‘what’ is food fraud prevention but also ‘how’ to address the compliance requirements and ‘how much is enough’ to complete your food fraud prevention strategy.
- Create capacity-building for the enterprise through training more employees to more thoroughly implement a Food Fraud Vulnerability Assessment and manage an optimal Food Fraud Prevention Strategy.
Deliverables:
- This workshop directly addresses the GFSI-related Food Safety Management System Requirements (E.g., FSSC 22000, SQF, BRC, IFS, and others) of completing a Food Fraud Vulnerability Assessment and a Food Fraud Prevention Strategy for all types of fraud and for all products. This FFIM workshop combines the Food Fraud Initial Screening Tool and the Food Fraud Prevention Strategy Tool. A fill-in-the-blanks template is provided, and if you follow along then at the end of the session when you press “save” you will have a draft of an updated Food Fraud Prevention Strategy. Upon completion, students usually meet the GFSI annual compliance requirements for fully completing an FFVA and FFPS.
- Attendees receive a Certificate of Completion.
Overview:
- This is a stand-alone workshop covering the complete GSFI requirements, including a Food Fraud Vulnerability Assessment (the ‘initial screening’) and a Food Fraud Prevention Strategy. This builds upon the “Food Fraud Overview” course and is preparation for the the “Food Fraud Annual Update Workshop.” The core concepts covered are: establishing the scope of work, conducting a Food Fraud Initial Screening (the basic Food Fraud Vulnerability Assessment), and creating a Food Fraud Prevention Strategy.
- Recommended attendees include employees who are recently assigned to the food fraud prevention group, as well as companies that have not yet completed a Food Fraud Vulnerability Assessment or the Food Fraud Prevention Strategy – this has been a successful team activity with multiple attendees from the same enterprise.
