Not sure how this is different from a Food Defense Risk Assessment?  For the FD Risk Assessment I use the Food Defense Plan Builder from the FDA.  Help!  :)

 

 

2.7.1.1 A food defense threat assessment shall be conducted to identify potential threats that can be caused by a deliberate act of sabotage or terrorist-like incident.

It's the same, the threats that could affect your food chain should be justified by your risk assessment. 

 

eg. Threat - Facility security - Unsecured point of entry/Fencing may external entrance for unauthorized personnel/vehicles may lead to product tampering.

 

So what is the risk for the threat of facility security?

 

Risk = Probability(1-Low)  x Severity(3-High) 

 

All the threats identified shall be analyzed my risk assessment with control measures and decision(outcome) to mitigate the threat.

They are usually the same and covered by the program that you are using.  I do an additional review and conduct assessments for intentional adulteration.  It is the same type of risk assessment that I use when I put together one for HACCP just with different guidelines for measuring.

 

I also use a vulnerability assessment using Key Activity Types but this couples with the vulnerability assessment already completed in your FDA Plan Builder program.

 

Cheers!
