Hi Everyone,

I need your help regarding Ingredient Vulnerability Assessment. I'm trying to do the vulnerability assessment for all my ingredients, but most of my ingredients as salt, potassium sorbate are purchased through a distributor. I was wondering if you guys could help me to get on the right track. I'm using the template below.

Ingredient

Supplier

Assessment

Likelihood

Economic Consequence

Risk = L+C

Is the potential

food fraud

reasonably

Likely to occur?

Yes R < 8

No  R > 7

V-CCP yes/no

 

Thanks a lot!

Hi M and S,

 

Perhaps you could make yr query a bit more specific ?

 

IIRC, this particular template has been discussed several times on this Forum, mostly in a negative way.

 

I suggest you investigate less antique variations, eg -

Hope this helps (very similar to what you posted). I used this for my SQF audit and the auditor loved it. Not sure for what scheme you want though.

Hi FS,

 

It's probably identical to that in the OP.

 

IIRC the document originated from when BRC triggered the food fraud fiesta  ca 2014.

 

IMO it proves that some auditors (all FS Standards) will (still) accept anything that looks like a risk assessment.

Thank you!! I am just confused about my suppliers since they are distributors.  I am not sure if I should use my distributor as my supplier on the form. Help, I'm very confused!

From a Food Fraud POV, it's the direct  supplier + food supply chain which is potentially critical (see my link). This aspect (et al)  is omitted in yr form.

 

Authenticity for chemical ingredients is presumably assurable through COA's.
