Food fraud vulnerability assessment and food defense assessment

Hello all,

After completing checklists for food fraud vulnerability assessment and food defense assessment, Is there any action we need to take for those questions in the check lists?

Thank you in advance!

Hi shookimogh,

In both cases you will need to develop and implement appropriate mitigation measures for significant threats/vulnerabilities and have documented plans, based on the assessments, specifying the mitigation measures and verification procedures.

Relevant FSSC 22000 V6.0 Scheme Additional Requirements:

2.5.3 Food Defense

2.5.3.1 Threat Assessment

b)  Develop and implement appropriate mitigation measures for significant threats.

2.5.3.2 Plan

a)  The organization shall have a documented food defense plan, based on the threat assessment, specifying the mitigation measures and verification procedures.

b) etc.

2.5.4 Food Fraud Mitigation

2.5.4.1 Vulnerability Assessment

b) Develop and implement appropriate mitigation measures for significant vulnerabilities. The assessment shall cover the processes and products within the scope of the organization.

2.5.4.1 Plan

a) The organization shall have a documented food fraud mitigation plan, based on the output of the vulnerability assessment, specifying the mitigation measures and verification procedures.

b) etc.

FYI FSSC Guidance documents are available for Food Defense and Food Fraud Mitigation, they can be downloaded here:
