Food Safety Culture Training Course
Food Safety Culture can be defined as the food safety attitudes, values and beliefs shared by a group of people. It is the product of employee attitudes, beliefs and behaviours that determine the commitment to and robustness of an organization’s food safety management. In effect, an organization’s food safety culture reflects “how we make safe food around here”.
This one-day course will help you understand the principles of food safety culture, The Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) introduced the idea of a food safety culture in version 7 of its benchmarking requirements, catapulting this concept into the spotlight, since the GFSI is the motor behind a wide range of certification schemes, from IFS and BRC to FSSC 22000 and beyond. Understanding how to approach food safety culture to ensure compliance and stay in sync with industry trends and customer expectations means understanding 3 basic questions:- Why food safety culture?
