This one day training course will give you an overview of how to manage a food defence programme in the food and beverage industry.

Food defence works to reduce the risk of tampering or other malicious, criminal, or terrorist actions on food (unlike food safety which emphasizes on measures to prevent unintentional contamination). All organizations recognize the increasing need to demonstrate and provide adequate evidence of their ability to identify and control food safety hazards, regardless of whether these are intentional or unintentional.
