Is there any good vulnerability templates to use? Especially if they mention the following : potential for food fraud for each ingredient, including any mitigation strategies in the event a significant food fraud potential exists.

As per usual - Standard = ?

I hope yr suppliers are technically up to it.

 

See the BRC link in Post6 in adjacent thread to this one ?

Im referring to the food fraud vulnerability tools, I used one and I didnt like it and neither did the auditor so I was hoping someone had used others before.

Hi Simon,

 

Sorry, I posted the (1st) link repeated below but it somehow got "lost" in the transfer -

PS - also see the excel here -

Another frequently referenced VA tool is linked below which suppliers might like for its (relatively) simple scoring approach (criticisms noted in thread were apparently  ignored by BRC).

Whatever method is used inevitably demands access to a food fraud database for which afaik USP have somewhat cornered the market  with their non-free product (alternatives do exist but afaik are less comprehensive).

 

Suggested mitigation strategies are offered in various other threads in the Forum, notably for BRC and SQF.

 

 

@Larissa - which method was not  liked ? (the one most frequently disparaged IMEX is the pwc tool despite SQF's implicit approval)

 

PPS - the various GFSI-recognized Standards all seem to have some differences in their preferred approaches to VA. However, audit-wise, maybe not so much.
