Many of the “tried and trusted” traditional processes used in the food industry are poorly managed and the margins for safety that previous generations considered essential for food safety are being eroded as the food industry optimises its operations to make them more efficient and cost effective. The formulation adjustments made to reach DOH salt targets and remove allergens are also creating a culture of continuous change. Mistakes are common and result in expensive withdrawal and recall of products on a weekly basis.
Food Safety Systems provides a risk assessment and validation service for new novel processes, changes to processes and changes to formulations to ensure that a food business can demonstrate that its products are safe and nutrition, allergens, storage and shelf life declarations are based on verifiable scientific data.
