“Security” in our food companies: are we doing enough in this field as a company?

Security-Food-Sector-Food-Security

No one has failed to notice the latest events or that the measures taken in our country are having quite an impact on a large number of companies.

Although strictly speaking “pure” Security isn’t one of our core competencies, we’re still able to provide you with several tips.

The 3 tips!

Evaluation-Security-Risk-Multidisciplinary-Approach-Food-Security

A multidisciplinary approach

Just as for Food Defense purpose, assessing the risks and determining proper measures is done according to the multidisciplinary approach (including the CEO), we recommend applying the same approach to assessing the current security risks and the subsequent measures.
Early-Warning-System-VBO-FEB-Food-Security

Early Warning System (VBO-FEB)

Through the VBO’s Early Warning System (a company information network to counter terrorist threats), Food Security is provided with information which we distribute to our members if this information is relevant to the food sector or specific companies.

Awareness of your people

A factor not to be dismissed when it comes to detecting signs, are your own people. Do they have the level of awareness required to detect and report any abnormalities?

 

So Food Security is also available for:

- a tailor-made First Line of Defense session to increase employee “awareness”.

- should you also be interested in scrutinizing your external Security expertise, Food Security can help point you in the right direction.

The company takes the complaint seriously and starts investigating the case. Meanwhile, the story also appears in the press. They wonder how a foreign body this large has got into the product.
