haccp and food fraud security
DESCRIPTION
In the post horsegate era as professor Chris Elliott's final report is about to be published HACCP Now's Jim Flynn gives a thought provoking and challenging presentation at the REHIS (Royal Environmental Health Institute for Scotland) annual conference 2014. With key industry figures such as Charles Milne from the Food Standards Agency Scotland both presenting and in the room it was an ideal opportunity to float some concepts that industry experts are not talking about.TRANSCRIPT

A New Vocabulary
• Food security• Food defence• Food fraud• TACCP
The food sector needs to get up to speed
![Page 6: Haccp and food fraud security](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102704/540f654c8d7f728d7e8b5216/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
A New Industry is Emerging
• Provenance authentication• DNA testing• Isotope testing• Food fraud consultants• TACCP experts• Supplier audit services
It comes at a cost
![Page 7: Haccp and food fraud security](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102704/540f654c8d7f728d7e8b5216/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Stop: What about HACCP?
• Improve food safety• Put responsibility on industry• Reduce end testing• Allow positive release• Universally accepted
Why didn’t HACCP prevent this?
![Page 8: Haccp and food fraud security](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102704/540f654c8d7f728d7e8b5216/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Key HACCP Factors
• Reliance on ‘due diligence’– Supply chain ‘cascade’
• Scope of application– ‘Internal’ processes
• ‘Tick box’ culture– Focus on paperwork– Lack of evidence approach
None of this is caused by the HACCP approach
![Page 9: Haccp and food fraud security](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102704/540f654c8d7f728d7e8b5216/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Elliott on HACCP?
Recc: 9. “Education and advice is required on the prevention and identification of food crimes. My reference is for advice to be given in a format already familiar to the food industry, such as that expressed in terms of critical control points for hygiene in a food safety management system (the HACCP approach).”
This indicates an integrated approach

Food Fraud HACCP Scope
• Each level of supply chain• Including
– Import agents– Transport– Storage
• Must cover entire supply chain• Difficult to co-ordinate / monitor
Sharing of information is key, few are willing

The Food Fraud Iceberg
Food fraud is pandemic
• Fish• Cereals• Alcohol• Honey• Olive Oil• Packaging• ...and so on....

What is the solution?
Its a LONG list implemented at differing levels

What Can We Do Now?
Solutions must be practical, feasible and affordable
• Food fraud training• Application of HACCP• Visibility of assurance• Whole chain traceability• Building trusted supply chains• Earned recognition
![Page 18: Haccp and food fraud security](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102704/540f654c8d7f728d7e8b5216/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Food Fraud Training
Generate awareness and embed best practice
• What is it?• How to identify it• How to control it• Managing suppliers• Risk monitoring
![Page 19: Haccp and food fraud security](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102704/540f654c8d7f728d7e8b5216/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Application of HACCP
HACCP is a transferable skill
• Supply Chain Risk Identification• Scope of Hazards• Where are the CCPs?• How do you control them?• How to ‘measure’ success?
![Page 20: Haccp and food fraud security](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102704/540f654c8d7f728d7e8b5216/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Application of HACCP
HACCP is a transferable skill
• It’s a Scope problem• Start to end of chain• Hazard types• Control measures• ‘Critical limits’• Monitoring• Corrective Action
![Page 21: Haccp and food fraud security](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102704/540f654c8d7f728d7e8b5216/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Terms of Reference
HACCP is a transferable skill
• Scope: Entire supply chain• Hazard Types: Species substitution, dilution, authenticity• Intended use: Consumer consumption• Team expertise: HACCP, supply chain knowledge, buyers
Its a simple modification of HACCP thinking.

Visibility of Assurance
Assurance standards need better food fraud focus
• Suppliers at all levels• ‘Cascading assurance’ concept• ‘Custody Chain’ approach• Real time monitoring and alerts• Requires:
• Inter-assurance scheme sharing• Retailer demand• Regulatory demand
![Page 25: Haccp and food fraud security](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102704/540f654c8d7f728d7e8b5216/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Whole Chain Traceability
The sector still largely operates in the dark ages on traceability
• Scope currently introspective• Major gap in industry infrastructure• Paper based• Error prone• Time consuming
![Page 26: Haccp and food fraud security](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102704/540f654c8d7f728d7e8b5216/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Trusted Supply Chains
Tools are available for most of this, more on the way
• Mapping the supply chain• Supplier assessment• Assurance visibility• Ongoing monitoring• Food fraud trends
![Page 27: Haccp and food fraud security](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102704/540f654c8d7f728d7e8b5216/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Earned Recognition
Trust begins with sharing information
• Urgently needed at industry level• Regulatory• Assurance• Consumer
• Can help drive higher standards• Unannounced audits / inspections• Sharing of operational information
![Page 28: Haccp and food fraud security](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102704/540f654c8d7f728d7e8b5216/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Investment in Supported Enforcement
Local authorities have massive potential to help the sector improve
• Resources – paid inspections?• Experienced Professionals• Focused expertise• Service ethos – paid?
![Page 29: Haccp and food fraud security](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102704/540f654c8d7f728d7e8b5216/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
What We Don’t Need
Responsible businesses don't want the additional cost
• Massive End Product Testing• More Regulation• More Audits & Inspections• More Paperwork

Summary
The sector does not need to wait
• The information exists• The techniques exist• Tools are available• Assurance is available• What’s required is
• Application• Effort• Diligence
