This plan will build on your existing food safety, HACCP and crisis management plans, as well as incorporate audits of the security of premises, shipping/receiving and personnel, in order to help ensure safe and secure food supply.Food Defence and Crisis Management: Developing a Food Defence Plan offers specific training for managers responsible for food security and defence, helping participants understand the issues and challenges that might arise at a food facility from intentional tampering or sabotage.
