The safety and security of the food supply has come under intense scrutiny in the wake of 9/11. In the intervening years "food defense" has become an industry catchphrase. But what exactly does it mean? What do regulators want to see?
This audio conference presentation reviews the use of physical security practices in the food industry since the events of September 11, 2001 and the advent of the term “food defense”. Our speaker discusses current food defense expectations from both the USDA and FDA, and takes a look at some possible regulatory developments associated with the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2010.
The presentation provides key information on the use of threat assessments, vulnerability assessments and risk assessments, as well as the use of a “goal based” security model in the development of security and food defense plans for food manufacturing facilities. Attendees also learn about supply chain responsibilities, and ways to utilize national and international supply chain programs such as C-TPAT, AEO and PIP to enhance food defense measures.
