How It Works

What the Programme Covers

Six modules, taught live and 1-on-1 in the order below. Every module is worked through on your own site, products and markets, so the examples are yours from the first session.

  1. 1

    The Intentional Adulteration rule

    Who is covered, the exemptions, and the food defence qualified individual and what that role must do.

  2. 2

    Vulnerability assessment

    The key activity types, the three fundamental elements, the hybrid approach and how to document the result.

  3. 3

    Actionable process steps and mitigation strategies

    Choosing strategies that fit your site, your budget and your people, and writing them into the plan.

  4. 4

    Mitigation strategy management

    Food defence monitoring, corrective actions and verification, and the records that prove each one.

  5. 5

    Training, reanalysis and the wider toolkit

    Who needs training, when the plan must be reanalysed, TACCP under PAS 96 and the food defence clauses of the GFSI schemes.

  6. 6

    Your own food defence plan

    A vulnerability assessment of your process and a written plan ready for your site.

The Regulations and Standards We Teach Against

  • US21 CFR Part 121, Mitigation Strategies to Protect Food Against Intentional Adulteration, and the FDA Food Defense Plan Builder.
  • InternationalPAS 96:2017 on TACCP and the food defence requirement in the GFSI Benchmarking Requirements.
  • EUNo direct equivalent, so the operator duties in Regulation (EC) 178/2002 and the food safety culture requirement added by Regulation (EU) 2021/382 apply.
  • UKNo direct legal equivalent to Part 121, so PAS 96:2017 guidance and the work of the National Food Crime Unit apply.
  • CanadaNo direct equivalent, so the Safe Food for Canadians Regulations preventive control plan covers site security under its general controls.
  • Australia and New ZealandNo direct equivalent, so FSANZ Chapter 3 applies, with the Australian Export Control Act 2020 for sites shipping to the US.
  • GFSI schemesThe food defence requirements in BRCGS Food Safety Issue 9, IFS Food Version 8, FSSC 22000 Version 6 and the SQF Food Safety Code.

How We Tailor It to You

We ask for your process flow and site layout before the first session. The vulnerability assessment and mitigation strategies you build are for your own actionable process steps, so the plan is ready to use when the course ends.
