A one-day course to help senior leadership and food defense coordinators to better understand their requirements (FSMA) and best practices in the industry to protect against intentional contamination and sabotage. The course covers how to establish a food defense plan, how to protect the plan, how to perform an effective vulnerability assessment and how to maintain a food defense working culture. It also has a table top exercise where the team works through a real-life scenario to help the team address those issues that could happen in a real-life food defense event (those things the team probably has not thought of before). The exercise can be counted as a test for the GFSI audit if performed on site and properly documented.
