Supplier Management: Food Fraud, Threat and Vulnerability Assessments

Managing supplier lists can be challenging. Organisations producing food and beverages can often have hundreds if not thousands of suppliers. Keeping on top of managing these suppliers isn’t always an easy task. Many organisations producing food and beverages will therefore use risk-based assessment measures. The method of measurement may be via supplier questionnaires, second or third party audits, but good practice and food safety standards tell us that a key focus should be on food safety and traceability regardless of audit standard or delivery method chosen.
