Onsite Assessment
TAG’s onsite assessment is designed to determine the aspects of your food manufacturing operation that are at higher risk for deliberate attacks. After observing your facility and program, TAG provides a report identifying significant vulnerabilities and recommending cost-effective mitigation strategies to enhance regulatory alignment and mitigate risk to your product and your brand.
FDP Review
TAG can conduct a desktop review of your food defense plan to assess gaps relative to regulatory standards and best practices. Or we can provide a more in-depth onsite review which identifies more robust approaches to preventing intentional adulteration, along with recommended cost-effective mitigation strategies to protect your product and your brand.
Access Review
To test your food defense systems, TAG conducts a discreet plant visit with attempts to penetrate the interior of your facility and gain access to your most vulnerable process steps. This site penetration attempt is then detailed in a full report which includes recommendations for prevention. The valuable insights from TAG’s site penetration assessments have helped clients optimize existing food defense practices that were previously thought to be sufficient.
Training
TAG provides onsite or remote intentional and economically motivated adulteration training that meet your objectives and target audience. Topics range from general awareness for all employees to addressing more in-depth elements with supervisors, covering role-specific concerns throughout the plant, and providing Food Defense Qualified Individual (FDQI/IA VA) training. TAG also offers customized training relevant to your organization.
