This training course provides practical and strategic guidance on implementing TACCP (Threat Assessment and Critical Control Points) a proactive, risk-based system designed to identify and mitigate intentional threats to the food supply chain. Unlike HACCP (which targets unintentional hazards), TACCP focuses on malicious contamination, sabotage, food fraud, extortion, and terrorism. Aligned with PAS 96 (Guide to Protecting and Defending Food and Drink from Deliberate Attack) and GFSI food defense requirements, this course equips food businesses to build robust food defense plans that reduce vulnerabilities and enhance supply chain trust.

Interpret PAS 96:2017 guidelines for food and drink defense
Conduct food threat vulnerability assessments (TVA)
Identify potential internal and external threats to food operations
Implement countermeasures and food defense control points
Build a multi-disciplinary food defense team and governance structure
Document a comprehensive food defense plan
Prepare for audits and compliance with BRCGS, FSSC 22000, FSMA, and IFS
Train frontline staff in recognizing suspicious behavior and handling incidents
