Food Defense
Food defense is not only critical for the protection of your food and brand, it is required by law.
TAG’s Food Defense consultants help facilities identify vulnerabilities and implement practical, cost-effective strategies to mitigate potential insider attacks and acts of terrorism against the food supply.
How TAG helps Food Businesses
TAG’s leading food safety consultants draw from experience and expertise to minimize the risk of deliberate contamination of your product through:
Onsite assessment:
Designed to determine the aspects of your food manufacturing operation that are at higher risk for deliberate attacks.
TAG observes your facility and program to identify significant vulnerabilities and recommend strategies for regulatory compliance and risk mitigation.
Food Defense Plan:
TAG reviews your plan to assess gaps relative to regulatory standards and best practices and make recommendations.
TAG assists in the development of your plan if you don’t have one in place.
Site Penetration Test:
To test your food defense systems, TAG food defense experts attempt to penetrate the interior of your facility and gain access to your most vulnerable process steps.
The attempt is detailed in a report with insights and recommendations – which have helped many of our clients optimize practices they had thought to be sufficient.
