How to start with a food fraud program?
Any one knows how should I start the food fraud program. I am kind of lost. Any guidance i will appreciate it.
Prepare a flow diagram of your Supply Chain and identify all potential areas where fraud opportunities, fraud motivations and fraud controls are possible. Then define appropriate control measures for each of the opportunity, motivation and control identified.
In your HACCP flow diagram also you need to identify the potential areas where one has the opportunity, motivation and control where fraud can be committed.
Michigan State has a food fraud think tank with online training, some of it free, others very inexpensive.

^This. I did one of the courses a couple weeks ago and we just had our GAP audit. She had no issues with our SOP and offered resources to where to get help with questions I had regarding the vulnerability assessment portion of it. I think I was going overboard on finding "robust" questions, and had trouble finding some of the answers. We are a 3PL and are exempt from a mitigation plan, but it's still required for SQF and Organic certification, so I've been plugging away at it.
